Taking this a step further... Does the "Cinelli" decal on the left side of the downtube line-up with the "Cinelli" decal on the right, or does it line up with the "Monza" portion of the other decal? I don't see a picture of the left-side decals, but imagine the following (except with the top line upside-down)...

Does it look like:

AZNOM ILLENIC * CINELLI MONZA *

or

AZNOM ILLENIC * CINELLI MONZA*

(The * represents the shift lever)

If it's like the lower set, the "Monza" could be added. If it's like the top set, they must have been applied at the same time.
