Notes:

Save the bottom bracket, this is an all-original vintage find. I'm in the process of a period-correct restoration, currently cleaning the tubular rims of the old glue and waiting on new Servizio Corsas (gumwall tubulars).

Decals and frame are in great condition. During this period of time, Windsor was owned by Acer-Mex Corporation, and frames were being designed by an ex-Cinelli framemaker and manufactured in Mexico. During this time they became known as "the poor man's Cinelli." The model name ("Profesional") is spelled with one 'S' as it's written in both Spanish and Italian.

Some more info-
Date: not sure. Serial # is '10231'. If anyone has any information, please PM me.
Material: Columbus, has a beautiful old "Tubi Rinfozati Garantiti" decal on seat tube.
Dropouts: Shimano front and rear.

Currently on the market (and saving up) for a vintage Super Record headset & bottom bracket.

This frame does have the dots on the lugs - a very interesting feature which I've seen on some of the Cinelli frames of the era. It's really so Italian its funny. The name is the only thing non-Italian about it.

That's cool that yours has Campy dropouts. I'm thinking mine is probably a mid to late 70's model since the dropouts are both stamped Shimano.

I finally cleaned up the old rims and got my tubulars in the mail, planning on setting it and taking new pics this weekend.

Thanks - I'm pretty happy with it myself. The photos turned out a bit larger than expected, but oh well.
