Its a lower line Windsor than your bike Vicente, which I presume was a Pro.

It is likely a Windsor AM-3 Carrera. See http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/Windsor-78/windsor4.jpg at the amazing bulgier.net catalog collection.

The Windsor (or should I say Acer-Mex) bikes also showed up with a few different brand names I now forget.

See http://www.thespincycle.com/trips.asp?level1=greatest_cyclist for some tidbits about Windsor and Eddie's hour record.

\r?\n> simple chromed lugs, not ornate like yours, with the 3

\r?\n> painted cut-outs. It was my first racer, and I loved

\r?\n> it. Several crashes led to it's demise, but it was

\r?\n> great while it lasted. Enjoy yours! Whatever it is.
