Not Murray, not a former high-profile performer. More like mid-profile and well known for impacting cycling in different ways than just riding. I think I'll leave the sticker, just because it's non-obvious and I am sure I'll do a poor job of removing it and it's a nice bike.
I appreciate the comments.
Documentation is there in terms of purchase papers. I'll probably put them away somewhere. In 2005 I got a set of wheels built by a weird-looking, extraordinarily grumpy guy for an old Puegot XP-10, and that guy turned out to be Sheldon Brown. I had no idea 'what that meant' until someone directed me to his website (great site!) and asked if I had provenance. I said "no," and he looked at me funny and I looked at him funny, and then not long ago I found the Wheelworks papers in a box of old Campy stuff my dad shipped to me once.
It's weird, you can probably tell I have very, very little intersection with the world of cycling, but it's like it keeps bumping into me.
Anyhow, thanks, it was a genuine question.

I'm not seeking attention. If you think your attention is the object of my efforts, feel free to ignore. My idea of ridiculous is sitting in a chair somewhere, thinking a stranger has a need for your attention. We all have our perspectives.
