1978 Windsor Super Carrera flea market find
 
Found this bike at the local flea market yesterday, it has seen better days but I figured the Cyclone RD on eBay would cover the purchase if there was anything terminal on it. I will be tearing it down tonight and see were I am with it. After a quick go with BKF the chrome is cleaning up well. Any way here is some photos to prove it did happen

Congrats on the find! Like you posted, those Cyclone derailleurs are probably worth more than what you paid for the bike (btw, how much?)

Are those pictures post-chrome clean?

Cool find. The fork is a replacement, and possibly bent(?). Are there any ripples at the bottom of the top tube and/or down tube just behind the head lugs?

Out of curiosity, what does the tubing decal say?

no ripples, yup forks are always bent.
Tubing is champion #2 matching the spec I have found for the bike
