^^^ Agreed. Two '80s steeds of mine are both Tange Prestige: A hand-built (small local shop) Davidson Impulse and a (presumably hand-built in Japan at Panasonic) 1987 Schwinn Prologue. Top quality stuff. Both are very good bikes, but only one encourages me to ride longer, charge up hills, or push harder to accelerate, while feeling as fairly close in liveliness to my '16 Trek Emonda ALR. [answer: it's the Schwinn!]
