Hello Robert.
                                               I have a Masi Prestige as well. I bought it second hand from the original owner who purchased from Alberto at the Viggorelli. This bike is all TI Super Record,Campag FW, Masi Pantographed just about everything, Masi Fiamme rims and Masi TTT bars. The guy even included: An embrodered MASI Prestige jersey and flocked shorts (unused). He included documentation on the purchase at the Viggorelli and a picture of Alberto and his dad. The bike is a visual masterpiece of MASI everything. It has the same details as your frame, mine is painted white with a gold pearl topcoat. I have the understanding that these frames were not to be imported into the States due to a conflict with the Cal Masi. Some were brought into the US in very limited numbers. There was also a Prestige Super that had some kind of external machining treatment on the main tubes.
                                                                      I think the Masi Prestige is undervalued and undiscovered, its a very nice bike. I have heard that there were some bad apples that made their way over here however. Dave Martinez
