Very nice bicycle Wayne!

Definitely 1st edition SR rear der. There were two major variations only in SR rears.. The one here shown and the next "flat faced" version. Note screw holes for Campy over shift device in dropouts..

Those are aftermarket "flutes" carved in the seat post. I never saw the grooves cut past the shoulder of the seat post shaft like that... That could have started out as a SL seat post though.. Marc?
I never heard of anyone intentionally getting mis-matched front and rear hubs! But who knows?
Although many of those bikes were sold as frame alone, I would think as far as saddles go, an old logo Cinelli Unicanitor would be most likely.
I love the color and the fork crown on that bike! Fischer with a nice saw cut.. Those engraved top eyes are cool too.
I am pretty certain that "Prestige" refers to the model, not tubing in it. While there was a Tange Prestige (past tense actually, as they pulled the plug a few years ago) I never heard of an Italian Masi using Japanese tubing? Anyone know otherwise?
