The Windsor Rides!
Bill Lindsay
Imperfection side story. I was so thrilled how the bar tape looked with clear shellac. I ran out of clear and rushed down to the hardware store. They were down to their last can of clear, and that can was kind of banged up. It had splatter and drips on it, but it seemed full when I shook it. Whatever. I bought it and have done a couple more coats of "clear". It's looking more amber, and the one side that I first did with clear looks lighter than the side that got three coats of this tainted can. Oh well, we're making memories (as my mom always says)!

This is my favorite bike story of the new year. Partly because it’s not only (or even mostly!) a bike story. Well done, Bubba.

I got my pop's Windsor into rideable condition last night. I rode it around the block and I'm extremely pleased so far. The real highlight is that the 40 year old Dia Compe centerpull brakes have extraordinary braking power. I'm really really impressed. It's not done in my mind until the racks and fenders are on, but getting it to rideable was a big step. The racks ought to be in soon, maybe tomorrow, and then I'll be able to do the rack and fender install. Even without racks, the Saddlesack Medium fits, so this bike is S24O ready. It's full Alba-smile worthy.

A huge testimonial from here for the Grip King Supremes. I have a set on my Mystery Bike, and there is no more comfortable pedal anywhere. Here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8366365230/in/set-72157630957672582/

After the racks and fenders are done, it will go into full daily rider service. Meanwhile, the real emotional part of the project can kick off. Some of you will remember that my father and I were collaborating on the Grip King Supreme. These were extra pedal cages that augment the Grip King. We did the design, and made and sold a prototype batch here to the group. If you search the archives or my flickr for "Grip King Supreme" you'll see them.
When I picked up the bike over Christmas, I also picked up all the tooling my father had been working on to help get me into production. The setup is not complete, and I'll have to reverse engineering the procedure, but I have a general idea of what he had in mind. The real topper for the Windsor will be when I put on the Grip King Supremes. Hopefully I will finally get into production, and the 20 or so emails I've saved from prospective customers will finally be returned.

a little bit of shellac goes a long way - two coats is all you ever want.
looking forward to seeing the final version - not that these things are ever quite finished - that is, unless you put them on a shelf.
Keep riding.

Not THAT inexpensive. I think that’s not all that much more than I paid for the Fuji S-10S I took to Europe in the summer of 1974, which was a very high quality (and even higher value!) bike. IIRC, price was $195. Carried me and gear all over England and France, while I attempted to find myself. (Still looking.)

Sure, I'll use it for S24Os. I think the bike probably cost about $150 in 1973.

Bill,
I find it interesting that this was an inexpensive bicycle...cause it looks outstanding. Curious you said IIRC that you planned using it for overnights?

Thanks all. I got the racks and fenders installed. It is a lot of work doing this kind of integrated install. The rear has no frame mounted stays. It bolts on at the dropout and then bolts to the fender in two places. The front attaches at the dropout, at the crown with a daruma, and to the rack platform. Now I'm ready for just about anything. Except now that the fenders are fully fitted, now I get to take them back off for pinstriping!

What a beautiful bike. You did such fine work. Inspires me to take some rust off my Bridgestone.
