Nice bike, but being an owner of both a Windsor Oxford and a vintage Raleigh Sports, I can 100% guarantee the quality and craftsmanship of the Raleigh is much better. True, it is also heavier and more prone to rust, but also more stout and certainly built to last. The SA 3 speed hub alone will outlast the Shimano one on the Windsor, even if it's already 40 years older to start with.
