Just wanted to share this old picture of my long-lost Wicked which I bought used a few years after it was made. I've never seen another with the same paint scheme. The main triangle was white with black dots and pink triangles of differing sizes and shapes. I've always wondered if it was a one-off, possibly requested by the buyer. The pink triangles may have been a symbol of gay pride? Or in remembrance of those killed by the Nazis. (For those who do not know the historical connection between Nazis and pink triangles, here’s your link: https://www.history.com/news/pink-triangle-nazi-concentration-camps).
Unfortunately, the frame suffered unrepairable damage when an encounter with a bush pushed the rear derailleur into the spokes and a stroke of the pedal nearly ripped the hangar off. Later, the fork was lost while in the custody of a former father-in-law, and having fallen out of favor with his daughter, I didn’t feel comfortable asking if I could search his garage inch by inch. We never had children, but perhaps we should have stayed together for the benefit of retaining ownership of the fork. Divorce always has sad consequnces, and mine was no different...
