Talk about your irony...your re-re-explanation of the previous140 posts is sort of like "here we go again"^2Originally Posted by oldbobcat .
Here we go again. The story of Wndsor has already been explained. In the early '70s Windsor was a Mexican bike company..........

Now, can you tell us who "re-stickered" it since?

Fausto Coppi probably retired before anybody started cutting out bottom bracket shells. Could it have been Felice Gimondi?Originally Posted by CAMPYBOB .
Who was it that rode for Bianchi and DID ride Celeste-colored framesets WITH the 'M' cutout BB shell?
I had posted some measurements earlier, here https://www.cyclingforums.com/threads/windsor-bicycles.26572/page-8#post-3663047View attachment 2049 so, I still have my original Windsor bike that needs a new home - I can part it out on ebay and make more than the bike is worth intact, but I would rather find someone who wants it as a great road bike. it has chinelli, campy and all the stuff that was the best in the early 70s. it's a short coupled frame. I bought this for my wife who now doesn't ride it. Notice the sew-up tires. it's roadworthy as is, but I'd probably carry a spare set of tires since these haven't been used in 10 or more years. Columbus tubing, etc. if anyone is interested, please contact me through the email on my web site, it just makes follow up easier. more info and pictures at this link. and yes, I can ship it for whatever shipping costs, but I think I'd rather not.

Nice old Windsor Pro, Bill! Someone underslung the rear brake, possibly to fit the rack. Looks like the less expensive Universal brand sidepulls (Super 68's?) on the old girl. She probably needs only new tape, tires, brake hoods (reproductions are available) and a good lube job. She'll go another 40 years, for sure!
