I get stopped at intersections by previous Windsor owners. Apparently, Windsor made Cinelli knock-offs during the 1980s bicycle boom – a lot of people have fond memories. Nice chrome lugs – I’ve seen other Windsors that had nicer paint jobs but without the chrome. Its quite light, too, now that most of the 12-speed paraphernalia has been removed. I like the Eggbeater pedals for city riding because they’re hard to steal and they’re easy to get in/out of. See also: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/vrbn-o-z.html#windsor
