Looks like a World Championship decal.
Hello,
I took some more pictures last night, again not very good ones (blasted fixed focus digital cameras, the poor light in my apartment doesn't help either) :-

I hadn't previously turned the bike upside down so I've found lots more to clean. What's the best way of cleaning the rubber hoods on the brake levers? These are a little rotten but if I'm careful I think I can get the grime off, not sure what to attack it with though. Soapy water?
The bike plate on the back is from the region of "Brabant" here in Belgium. Brussels is a french speaking city but it is surrounded by a large region called Brabant which is flemish speaking. In fact this region has recently subdivided again into two parts, the flemish speaking north and the french speaking south. All very complicated these bi-lingual countries, I'm from Wales where we know all about the problems. I once had to show some ID to a liquor store clerk in New Jersey and he was very confused by my provisional driving license printed in English and Welsh. At one time these plates were compulsory and they can often be seen on older bikes in the street.
Best regards
Ben Brussels, Belgium
PS Had my first ride into work wearing SPD sandals this morning, very breezy!
