I'm in 100 percent agreement. I used to own and ride that bike from 1989 to 1995. I bought it from a relative who bought it new in 1985 for about USD$425 (or maybe it was closer to $469). It was considered higher-end at the time, and I was actually present when it was purchased. I always coveted the bike and, in 1989 was given the chance to upgrade from my 1988 Raleigh Record, which I felt like I'd outgrown, actually.

Here in Toronto, I've not seen a single Prestige, and I have definitely kept an eye open for one. I'd be liable to offer money on the spot if I spotted one still in original, clean condition. Thanks for bringing back a great memory!
