Hey gang,

Not all of the Windsor pros used a 27.2 seatpost - I think only the late ones did. I've got two early ones; one from '74, and another from '75 or '76, and they both came with a 26.8 post. You can't always go by the seatpost size to ID the Windsor. Something I have noticed about them though, is that the serial # is always stamped into the side of the seat lug.

Cheers,
