My 73 Cinelli SC takes a 26.2 mm post, because the seat lug area has an internal sleeve. This means that the seat post is only anchored for about 4 cm, or less, before the seat tube is exposed and the seat post no longer is in contact. Duh! Doesn't tend to stick.
To the best of my knowledge, the Windsors, while fine bikes in their own right, never had that seat tube sleeve. Please let me know if I'm wrong, so I don't rush out and buy a Windsor at Cinelli prices.
harvey sachs McLean Va. +++++++++++++++++++ Sure looks like a Windsor Pro. In 1974 Ann Arbor Cyclery had a Windsor Pro and a Cinelli SC hanging adjacent in their shop. Virtually every construction detail and piece on the bike was identical to the Cinelli. The only differences appeared to be the quality of construction, chrome and paint. The Cinelli cost double, or nearly so and was probably worth it.
