Merckx MX Leader 1992-93 - a photo on Flickriver

Merckx MX Leader 1992-93

            As bought. When this MX-Leader surfaced at a local buy&sell site and at a very competative price - I could not resist yet another MXL (my fourth). Complete last generation C-Record and in a very nice condition over all - pics show it uncleaned. 

Serial number points to 1992-93 and the absence of seatstay caps is in line with the very earliest production of MXL-tubed Leaders. The C-Record group is very probably original to the frame as it is period correct and in the same nice shape. The only things that look like they have been exchanged is the rear spokes, rear rim and the big ring at the crank (tires, cassette and chain is of course not orignal but those things does not count).

The paint has a few small chips - it will look very nice after a good cleaning and some detailing. 

Does anyone know if this paint scheme is a team colour? I have searched the net but not found anything.

Took it for a spin today and it felt really, really nice. As MX-Leaders do.
