I am new at this and have been noticing a lot of "almost" desirable road bikes. I have picked up a couple hoping that they were simply lesser-known but respectable brands. These manufacturers use recognizable names where you will first look and the rest of the stuff is low to bottom grade. My sucker-punch was an Atala, actually two in one week. If you are hoping for a hidden gem, move on. If you are looking for a fun rider at a great price, go for it if the condition is good and everything is straight. If it has recognizable tube labels that would be a plus.
My first Atala went to a nice young girl who wanted something old to ride ( I didn't miss the joke, I avoided it) and the second contributed parts to other projects at just the right moment. So, today I would pass, two months ago I would have bought it.
The headset is a Magistroni.

im not looking to steal a deal on a cinelli, colnago,etc. with this bike.
im trying to find a midrange or higher bike with good ride quality.
i believe this windsor in particular is a touring bike, and that is fine by me as i will use it for commuting.

I am not personally familiar with the ride quality of this model, but I would not hesitate on that for the price.
( It's a beautiful bike with some decent components and it won't keep for long. )
ps This probably belongs in our sub-forum for valuations.

Bike should have been sold in about 30 minutes or less. Really nice deal.
