Pearl pink in fact, which at the time was sort of unheardof in custom American made frames. It was actually a punishment to the two hot-shot juniors who were impatiently awaiting delivery of their frames. They became locally famous and instantly recognizable on their pearl pink Wizards. That's when I realized paint makes a difference.
Brian, you just reminded me of that beautiful, original finish, pink Wizard #13 that a list member on Beautiful Bainbridge Island, WA got a couple of years ago and had you repaint because of its pinkness (it was pink wasn't it?). Kind of a crime to my way of thinking!
(I think it even got spread to 130mm...)
