Ranger,

I have a Windsor Leeds and it suits me fine. I plan on riding around 3000-4000 miles this year and do not plan on upgrading the frame yet. I got it about August of last year and have ridden it quite a bit. It is a nice bike, and coupled with the price, you can't beat it. I got mine for $300 shipped. Granted, it is not a 17 lb wonder like some you will see on this forum, but it rides fine when I am on it.

DenverFox also has one he uses as his bad weather/trainer bike and likes his also. If you are going to race competitively, this is probably not the bike for you. But, if you are going to ride centuries, family rides and pull the trail-a-bike, this may be the pefect bike for you, for the price! I have no regrets about buying from Bikesdirect..fast shipping, exactly as described. I have added a few things, and probably will continue to do so. I plan on buying a new frame in another year or so just for the weight reduction.
