Another rarity comes to my stable, NOS Tange Prestige frameset from the mid late 90's

Good evening

I was looking for something unusual but after looking over and over ebay and watching rusted out , damaged frames, I felt on something very unusal of very high quality outstanding craftsmanship, it is a Tange Prestige frame from the mid late 90's . And it weights 1,95 kilos not bad for a 58,5 cm frame. The lugs and the brazing are absolutely stuning, it even beats my Pinarello Stelvio and my Giant Kronos regarding craftsmanship. Probably will go more than very certainly with a Mizuno carbon threadless fork

Have a nice day

Very best regards and stay safe

Soemone on a facebook group seems to know my frame and wrote me this "It's a factory-frame. Lugs are Everest investment cast. The lugs are unworked and out of the box. Dropouts are plugin, not much to do other than chop the stays off and stick them in. The finish was used by several Taiwanese factories in the 90's. It's a nickel plate over a brushed base and then cleared-coated."
