There's only one to better that, a Chateau d'Ax version!

I don't think it's a Leader AX. Actually it is not.
BB shell and forks speak differently. Maybe an SC, but that painted fork speaks of a repaint?

Wonderful frameset though and very nice and hard to find groupset too!

 

[Gilco]

this is original decals

 

[anidel]

The decals are, but are placed on the wrong frame.
That frame IS an SC and HAS been re-painted.

Just make a search for a Moser Leader AX and you'll see that the BB shell is not a lug and that the fork is a unicrown.
Then search for Leader SC and you'll see that this is it.

The SC was 'just' below the AX, so still very much a very nice frameset, just not an AX.

This is a Leader SC:

It could be that someone just changed the decal and placed an AX decal and only painted the fork.
That fork is always chromed on a Moser frame.

And this is a F.Moser Leader AX:

(that used to be mine, now it's in good hands).
Just look at the forks and BB area.

Thanks for the clarification, it is always very interesting to exchange views.
This bike is official team, probably the decals are not exact or is something personalized for some athlete or some test. I assure you that it has never been repainted

 

[anidel]

That makes it interesting, but then why they are inverted?
I don't think that

a) the team at Moser would have made such a silly mistake of inverting Team Gatorade colors
b) put the wrong decal on the bike

I am chatting with someone who knows about F.Moser (lives near and is a 'marquee enthusiast' to say it in VCC terms.
The paint has probably been done at Moser as only them had the masks for it.
It is an SC and has some AX decals (probably they've run out at Moser), but it is not a team one for sure.
Team bikes have a white background for the Moser text on the headtube.

So, to recap, nice frameset, really, groupset is a great one in great conditions, paint not the original, but a repaint (albeit from the Moser shop), not a team bike.

I hope I am not sounding mean or aggressive though!
