Tom,

I don't recall ever having used clear chainstay protectors with a masi decal printed on them. We did have some that were "chrome" mylar with "Brev. Masi" printed on them. Still have a bunch of those!

Some possibilities: 1. I've forgotten about clear chainstay protectors with "Brev. Masi" 2. It is a clear, but the decal is underneath the protector 3. Someone painted the bike and put the decal on top of the protector 4. It's one of the chrome mylar protectors. 5. Some one else marketed pre printed chainstay protectors. 6. ???????
