Well, folks, I finally did it... purchased a circa 1975 Windsor 10-speed bike for 10 bucks! I was rather hoping that you kind listmembers might help me out with identifying the model, though (the top tube is rusted)... it's a Widsor 23" frame with Suntour VGT der. set, stem shifters, a Gran Compe stem, center-pull Dia Compe brakes, a Sugino 70ci double crankset, foam-covered aluminum handlebars with "turkey-wing" brake levers, and it's serial number 875479 sold out of Bike Center in Oxford, Ohio. Does anybody know what model Windsor this might be?
This would be the Windsor Carrera. I recall it selling for about $175 in the mid-70's.
