I picked up a Prestige about a year ago; seems to be the same era as yours. 130 rear spacing. It also has that boss underneath the top tube: Im after finding your post on the roadbikereview forum, and I gather this boss is for the team plate (I didnt know this, and my LBS were unsure as to what it was for). Is this an indicator of a team bike?
Mine was in pretty bad shape, superficially at least. It had a terrible paint job, with no primer or clear coat, and no decals, and a weird mish mash of parts (105/campagnolo veloce). If it is indeed a team bike, it might have been obtained by a shop and painted/assembled on the cheap.
Ill try to put some photos up later.
I cant tell from your pic, but is the down tube also hex tubing? Ive seen some Prestiges that used hex tubing for only some of the pipes.
Id be interested in contacting Rossin, given that you seemed to find them helpful; care to pass on your contact there?
