Thanks! Looking at pix online and 1982 catalog it’s clear downtube decals were used on at least the 7 and 9 series. I bought the bike from the son of original owner who left the bike essentially untouched, except the bar tape and saddle were changed at some point. Bike would have come equipped with cloth tape and an Avocet Condor (I acquired it with a Gel Flex saddle which I pitched). There’s no way the owner would have added the decal himself. If I had to speculate it was a special order or he had the bike shop do it because he liked the look of the higher models in the showroom. I could remove it but my instincts tell me to keep it on.
