Don't know the answers, but from what I can gather, present Prestige has little to no relation to the old Prestige tubing. That was light, heat treated tubing that had some serious restrictions on it for frame builders. (This is all from 25 year old memories, so take with a grain of salt.) If remembering correctly, the old Prestige actually had a weight limit for riders. Never threw a leg over a bike built by one for that reason.
Even though today's Prestige doesn't have that weight limit, still won't buy a bike built with it. Mental block on my part.
