Subject: [CR]re: classic mexican bikes

Many people slag on Mexican and latin american products but all the bicycles I've seen from "south of the border" have been at least on par with the Italians.

*******I've probably seen a half-dozen Windsor pros over 25 years and every one of them looked quite crude to me. Seems strange anyone would be fooled into thinking one was a Cinelli, no matter the decals involved. I've also seen a couple of lower-line mexican benottos and they weren't anything to write home about either....about like a japanese midline frame in terms of finish.
