Here's one I haven't seen before. An Eddy Merckx frame apparently made with Tange Prestige tubing. I've generally seen Reynolds tubing used and wouldn't be surprised to see Columbus, but never a Prestige tubed bike. But there's a good pic of the Prestige decal next to the EM seat stay caps, and it looks like the original paint job.
Were there significant numbers of Prestige tubed Merckx bikes made? This is supposed to be an early/mid '80's frame (either on topic or a "keeper of the flame") and thus built fairly early in the Merckx factory history, so there may have been some experimentation before the final tubing supplier(s) were picked.
