Default Windsor Bikes

I have enjoyed my Windsor Trent for the past two months. I was thinking
about getting a Kennet but I like the Trent's color scheme better (black
on the Trent vs. silver/purple on the Kennet).

The difference between the Trent and the Kennet are the brakes, bottom
bracket, and crank. They both use the same frame and other Ultegra
components. In the long run it will be more expensive to upgrade, but it
is easier to upgrade the comps than to have the bike completely
repainted.

I love this bike, it is light, responsive, and smooth. I ride a couple
of times a week with a group (we avg about 21mph over 36 miles). I've
probably put 200-250 miles on it and have loved it every minute.

I got mine at "bikesdirect.com" for $895 about a week before they raised
the price to $995 (which is what I think it still is now). You can't
beat free shipping, no sales tax, and an awesome deal. After I assembled
the bike myself, I just had a friend of mine who races tune in the rear
derailleur and I was set to go.

I can't say enough about how much I love this bike.
