No, it had to, just had to, have been a Windsor. I mean, just look at the stickers on frame . . . .

For those new to all this - Yes, I am kidding. Yes, Eddy's Hour Record was a very special Colnago. Yes, Eddy allowed Windsor to slap Windsor stickers on the bike at the last minute. Yes, Ernesto Colnago was less than pleased. It is probably not a coincidence that Eddy mostly rode Dr Rosas thereafter. It is also probably not a coincidence that it was Ugo, not Ernesto, who helped Eddy set up his frame business.
