Bumping this thread since nobody has posted in 2 weeks and it's dropped off page 1. My latest addition to my bike collection is a Windsor Clockwork singlespeed that I picked up on closeout for $169.95 + 6.25% state sales tax. It's a very nice bike for its normal $299.95 price and a screamin' deal for the price I paid. Although it is very similar to the Motobecane Messenger that I bought over 3 years ago and no doubt built in the very same Chinese factory, the quality is much better. The wheels required only minimal truing and the frame welding was much nicer. I plan on leaving this bike basically stock, unlike the Moto where I replaced virtually everything and tripled the overall cost. The only changes I've made are to the pedals, brake blocks and freewheel, using items from my parts bin, so I've not spent anything beyond the initial cost.
