I commute each day via the Windsor 3-speed, and I've been very happy. I also used it for the Bike DC event here in town this year, that was around 25 miles I believe, and it performed admirably. Sure, the three speeds are a bit limiting, and it's heavy, but I've been very impressed with the ride quality (super smooth and solid) and stock components. Granted, my commute is short, and if it were longer I may feel differently, but mine has been great for my commute. Getting ready to hop on in a few minutes!
