That G has to be about the same vintage as the frame I have. Mine is also a TSD import, and it's got a robust clearcoat on it -- which is too bad, because the top tube has a pair of large "Campagnolo equipped" decals, one of which is peeling off. But they're under the clearcoat, and removing them leaves a sort of unsightly place. OTOH, your downtube graphics look like they might peel right off. Try some mineral spirits (on the underside of BB first) and work slowly.

BF member JRrestore was cooking up a set of Guerciotti decals for someone else here -- I know that I sent him photos of mine to develop them from. However, he doesn't list them on his website (yet?)

Greg Softley in OZ (eBay seller cyclomondo) also has a Guerciotti set.

Is it an SLX tubeset? With the chromed stays, I imagine so. Great find, of course.
