This is a very intriguing decal, submitted by Rob, a regular visitor here who has contributed before. It is based on the Picasso sculpture in downtown Chicago (with the handlebars added, of course), and I found that in addition to a shop decal, this may have been also served as the logo decal for Turin's house brand of bikes back in the 70's and 80's. Rob explains that what you see here is a reproduction, "My Eisentraut originally purchased in '73 at Turin came with this decal, repainted frame and I had the decal reproduced. to match the original." Well done.

Lee Katz (owner of Turin Bicycles of Chicago) explains where and when the shop decal (normally installed on the seat tube, near the bottom bracket, as on my 1974 Raleigh International) was used as a head-tube decal: http://www.thechainlink.org/forum/topics/turin-cycles?commentId=2211490%3AComment%3A1040111
