Windsor Ridemaster 3 Speed
I recently picked up a Windsor Ridemaster Deluxe 3 Speed in mint condition, everything original. It has the shark fin style chrome fenders, internal 3 speed hub with the twist grip shifter, and it's maroon red. Looks to me like mid-late 60's, but I was shocked to find that I really can't find anything on my this bike online, not even a picture! Does anyone have anymore info on it and a stab at what it's worth??

Depends on location. Those early 3 speed twist shifters were not very good. Shimano 3 speed is worse. I. 3 speeds just don't get much response, and once you get past Raleigh, even less. Not Sturmey Archer = a lot of buyers will avoid.
In urban markets, 3 speeds can do better.
$50 to $125

That bike is a Japanese built import bike with a Shimano 3 speed from the early 70's fairly low end. These can make nice riders but not a lot of value in most market's around $125 in excellent condition.
