That's a nice bike and it's still out of stock. I'm surprised Bike's Direct didn't get more since it sold out pretty quick. I purchased their 3 speed and it's not bad at all. I had to get the rear wheel respoked again because of broken spokes but that's all the problems I've had. I can true the wheels myself so that was the weakest part.

The Bike's Direct 3 Speed Windsor has lots of room for fenders. I removed them but then again, I'm not riding in the rain anymore. The gearing is low, a 54 inch second gear but just perfect for me!

By the way, I also have the 5 speed Torker and that's a great bike. The wheels are way better but then again, it cost about $200 dollars more. The tubes are strong like a mountain bike. Seriously. The Torker was also high geared too and I had to reduce it with a larger cog! I guess the designers of Sturmey Archer hub bikes think were Lance Amrstong! ;-)
