The jury's still out...
Hi, I was just looking through the older threads & came across this one... The plot's thicker than you know... Not only Windsor made Cinelli knock offs in Mexico, others did too! I have two Windsor Pros, and a "Fraysee", and also a "Raysport". All were very Cinelli-like, with the latter two even having the sloping fork crown...! BUT the Fraysee & Raysport have Campagnolo VERTICAL drop-outs in the rear! Here's a pic of the Raysport:
