Watch out||| not US made bicycle. No genuine warranty
I am afraid this site : www.windsorbicycles.com is not a genuine company site. This site was set up by some individuals to sell their bikes for higher price. The bike is not US made, like they claim as WINDSOR AMERICA . The site's IP is: 198.173.232.162
Do a reverse IP lookup and you will find lot of information.

Do a google search on "Windsor Bicycles".

This is what I found:

I have a Columbus SL Windsor Profesional(I know they spelled it wrong) that I believe is from 1972, that's what the Nuovo Record der. is stamped. It is Molteni orange and has chromed spearhead lugs that have been drilled out. Does anyone know the history of Windsor bicycles, I heard that they were made in Mexico by some Italian? I think it's also wierd that it's Molteni orange, the Merckx color. I heard that on Merckx rode a Colnago with Windsor decals on his hour record in Mexico City in 1972. Can anyone verify any of this?

not US made

The designer of the pro bike and the track bike (they made several other lower end models for children etc.) was Rameo Vecchi an Italian who was an engineer at Cinelli before being hired by Acer Mex.
Yes Merckx rode a Colnago with Windsor decals. I was there at the veladrome that day in Mexico City. I have photographs of the event and met
Merckx afterward.
The current Windsor I know nothing about except the fact that is not connected in any way to Acer - Mex. That comapny went out of business many years ago
Hang on to that bike, it's a classic.
