My girlfriend got me a Windsor The Hour from Bikesdirect around the same time. While The Hour is certainly a bargain at less than half the price, a quick ride around the block on both easily justifies spending the extra money. I'm fortunate to have both. One is my long distance bike for hanging shiny bits I don't need off of, the other is my bad weather, bad manners, swap parts because it's so inexpensive bike.
