[QUOTE=swanktaspi;11294097]Here's my Windsor, finally switched out the 15t cog to a 19t. So much better! Everything else is pretty much stock. And to help with those that are buying, 5'7" with a 79.5cm cycling inseam, 54cm frame. Sorry for the low quality, camera on my phone.
what did you do with your front brake? i need some suggestions.

Here's my hour that I bought a few months ago. Everything's still stock, but gotta love riding it! Planning on switching out the pedals, bottom bracket, and cog soon...

Nice(: I have a yellow one... I hate what the did to the new yellow, Friend of mine has a 2010 model and the yellow looks like mustard compared to my 08 model... But the bike looks good(: Might want to try getting new pedals.

Yeah, I just ordered some new pedals last night. Some MKS GR9's with MKS Toe clips and Soma straps. I think I'm going to regret buying the Soma's since I did some research after buying, but we'll see.

Rode my Hour with my new GR9 pedal setup for a good 20 miles and it is so much better than the stock pedals!

"CiITRISTRIP Safe for Indoor Use, No Harsh Fumes, Strips Multiple Layers"
I let it sit for most of the day, and some of the logos needed a bit more elbow grease, but it turned out great. As far as the paint job goes... Can't say which way its going now... Had a little issue with my method of painting.

My method of painting the bike didn't work out, and I wasn't terribly concerned about the end product, and I know there are things I would have done differently had I cared about the end result... but the bike was $70 to begin with. I had fun, learned a few things, and it turned out decent enough. I'll be throwing it up on craigslist so no need for advice to change anything.
