There are many variants, but the image below looks the closest to the OP's photos. I was really saying this tongue-in-cheek, as that bike could be just about any generic Chinese frameset that kinda looks like a Leader. I've long ago torn down my VISP TRX790 and transferred the parts to my much better Dolan Pre Cursa fameset, however, other than being very heavy and the boneshaker ride, the VISP was decent quality with good welds, good frame alignment and good paint. It was actually made in Taiwan rather than China, which probably accounts for the decent quality.
