Yes, I saw that too. I'd like to be able to tell you that it's from a Campagnolo Sport front derailleur (the one with the lever mounted directly to the cage) but the frame's decals are far too modern for that. I'm assuming they are from a chainguard mounting bracket.
Edit: The other aspect that points towards a city bicycle is the geometry. Given the apparent era, most race race would have a head angle slightly steeper than the seat tube. At worst they would be parallel. In your picture, the head tube angle appears slacker than the seat tube. That's usually a good indicator that it's not a race frame, unless it is very old.
