    Description

    Vintage pre-owned, upgraded.
    This is a recently refurbished and upgraded Windsor Professional, commonly known as the Cinelli of Mexico. Built by Remo Vecchi, who had previously worked for Cinelli in Italy. Side by side, the Cinelli Super Corsa and this Windsor Professional could be twins.
    I believe this is an earlier 70s bicycle because it has the three-hole lugs. The lugs were changed in later 70s versions.
    Upgrades:
    Fully chromed front fork (not original)
    Frame was purchased at the 2018 California Eroica auction. Refinished in burgundy with brushed chrome lugs.
