Hi. First post so no picture which is not a bad thing as I'm embarrassed at how chipped and spoiled my MX Leader frame is. I'd really appreciate some info on the bike as I know nothing. (If I knew anything I'd likely have not commuted on it for 4 years!!)

MX Leader
Paint very similar to the Motorola Costa paint job but with more turquoise blue/green top tube, pearlescent white on down tube/seat tube and black rear triangle. Chromed chainstay and dropouts. I've only seen one other bike like it when searching google.

Left side of BB is "H" (poorly stamped)
Right side of BB is "D 8600" Would that make it 1992/93 ish?

Also, I'm in no mind to sell it as it was given to me by my uncle. However, I do what to try to keep it from getting worse and intend to treat rust spots and paint chips. Am I correct in assuming that to have it stripped, re-painted, re-chromed and re-decaled is sacrilege?

I live by the sea and I wish kept it in the house rather than in the shed :-(

Thanks.
