Which makes me think someone bought replacement decals and had an extra? Or left one off the other fork leg???
It's definitely a fork blade sticker/decal on this seat tube, and it's the same "SLX" sticker that was on my frame, but mine was on the seat tube just where you'd expect, not low on the down tube. BTW mine had this same "South San Francisco " importers decal near the BB, which was the Bianchi import HQ for West Coast, BITD. Seeing this I think the "PUCH" operation at Bianchi was employing newbies in '87 that had NO idea where to adhere decals or which ones to use!
