Had to get in on this before it goes away...OP:I'm glad you like your bike, congrats. I saw your I heart my Windsor post, again good for you. I guess my take is how much you actually want to build a bike versus assembling or converting. I like to recycle and overhaul. I like to clean and polish. I just can't imagine buying a bunch of new parts and sitting on my couch putting them on a frame...boring. I like the troubleshooting involved in conversions, I like to use as many tools as possible to do any job. I love all the bikes I work on...well, until I spot the next one. I am gonna say that you get a lot more for your money in the conversion, better frames/forks and my fave, leftover parts. That windsor is great, it just has no soul and no style. It is, how shall I put this, artless. You know what they say, people start looking like their bikes after a while...JK, hope you continue to be happy with your ride, but hey, get your hands dirty once in a while city boy.
