This color was called "Metallic Rose". I had one that I bought from the shop I worked at in 1986(pretty sure). I used to race it back then!
The shop I worked at as a teen in the mid-late 80's sold Maruishi and Motobecane. I always tried to grab a Maruishi when it was time to build the next bike. The Motobecanes were absolute crap! We all hated assembling them because it took so long to get them working halfway decent.
The Maruishi bikes went together so easily and quickly. Never found any empty cigarette packs thrown in the box with the bikes from Maruishi!
