I disagree, show me where else you have seen those names licensed. Between this and your earlier post, you sound like a shill. Here is another example - "
Why are these on Sale?
Windsor Bicycles allowed us to sell a small quantity of these bikes at a deep discount since a small fraction of them have very minor paint blems. We looked at a few dozen and found one blem that would show in a photo"
Right, so, Windsor bikes allowed them to sell??? They ARE Windsor bikes!! It is that sort of deception that people frequently comment on and dislike. The quote is from here - Save Up To 60% Off Town Bikes | Classic, Stylish Three Speed City Bikes | Urban Bikes | Commuter Road Bikes | Windsor Oxford from bikesdirect.com
Anyway, take it for what you will, as I said, I own one and it is a decent bike for the price - after it was worked on. If you are not a good wrench, be sure to take it to a LBS. But by all means don't be misled by marketing......or shills.
