Show Us Your Bikes Starting With W
Here's your chance to show us your bikes alphabetically!
It goes like this: every fortnight I'll start a new thread with a new letter in alphabetical order. Post your classic and vintage bikes that correspond to that letter, eg; C = Cinelli, Carlton, Ciocc. M = Mercian, Masi, Motobecane. And so on and so forth. The letter of the fortnight should correspond with the marque, not the model. For example; you could post your Tommasini Prestige in the T thread, but not in the P thread. If you're not sure, take a look at the word on your downtube. There's a grey area with people's names - Bruce Gordon, Claud Butler, etc., but I'll leave it up to the owners which thread is preferred. Make sense?
So let's see your Whippets, Waterfords and Wiliers!

I'll have to sit this one out unless the co-op provides a surprise for me, and I already posted my Waterford Paramount under "P."

I do have another one. Not a great picture (the seller's one, which made it a €25 deal. The seller even brought me the pedals afterward), but still. It's a bike, and its name starts with a W.
A ... tada! ... Winora!

The two Windsors above have nothing in common, other than their brand name.
The first one was made in France by Gentil & Cie, one of the largest French pre-war manufacturers. To give you an idea: of the seven pro teams in the 1927 Tour de France, four were fielded by Gentil: Alcyon, Thomann, Armor and Labor.
TdF 1927. Belgian Armor-Dunlop rider Julien Vervaecke joins his countrymen De Waele (Labor-Dunlop) and Van Slembrouck (JB Louvet) for a smoke:
