Yeah had never heard of them until I moved back here, Sam Humphries races for them.. Very well made frame..
 
Nice looking bit of gear that. If I ever get around to buying a modern bike, something like that is where I'd be going...

Question: Prestige now- is it the same as it was when it was commonplace ten years ago, or has it evolved and just kept the same name?
 
Very Nice indeed :!: This build just looks so right :eek: I think this is the future for retrobike, new with an old school feel :oops: :cool:

Kinda tempted to do the same maybe with a Vicious Cycles, Indie fab of Dekerf :? Just not got the cash to do it at the mo' :( :LOL:

Looks pretty much the same Geoff

They don't seem to do Concept any longer, but I imagine the basic Prestige tubeset is a fairly cheap sturdy option for a frame builder to use still. Obviously the Duster is a steel bike in the modern idiom with far fatter tubes than our 94/5 Kilaueas. BITD the Prestige top tube was a 28.6 and the down tube was a 31.8, now they go up to 38.1 and it looks from the photo as though the Duster may have a 34.9 tt and a 38.1 dt, albeit maybe at 8-5-8, whereas BITD it was 9-6-9.
