Unknown and wants a name! :-)
Hi friends, I came across this road bike. I unfortunately was not able to find a single decal indicating what it is. My guess is that it's a Paramount! :-) Joking! But seriously, can you please help me find out the name brand of this bike? The paint looks original in all parts of the frame. The only thing missing are the decals. As always, I sincerely appreciate your time and help! Thank you!

The Japanese components, particularly that crank, was my giveaway that it was a Windsor.

For you Windsor connoisseurs, might a Windsor have Shimano DOs? I have a mystery bike I've been trying to ID too.

It does appear close, but I dare say this one is an illusion thanks to the lens. Frame looks fine behind the headlugs. Doesn't appear to be bent either.

P.S.: You wouldn't happen to be in southern Florida, would you? The background foliage looks it.

It's camera illusion. Note in the front view picture the wheel is turned ever so slightly. Then note the camera distortion of the top tube in the side view picture. The two are contributing to the illusion of the now cliché bent fork.
