That doesn't look like any Sport model I've seen. Looks more like---perhaps it's a Carrera?

Carrera Sports were quite heavy! Not even chromoly.

I'm being given a Windsor Carrera Sport by my Great-Eddy-Merckx-Riding-Buddy Chuck Johnston from Colorado. (Thanks Chuck!) It's a Carrera Sport, but has a Columbus tubing decal. (see pics at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davefromaine/ )

Anyone heard of this lower-end Windsor being made with anything other than Chromoly or Tange? I assume the foil decal is original given the condition of the paint.
