Nishiki Barbarian plus size frame
Retro rebuild on a bike with a cool name.
The driveline is a 1x10 with Shimano Deore gears and Sram Rival crank section with x-sync NW blade so stable and fast!
The wheels are a pair of WTB shutters with the new MAXXIS Dth in meaty size, rolls very quickly but provides good comfort.
A-head adapter to be able to drive a modern stem and a 3T stem with a red Riser handlebar.
V-brake converted with nice AVID brake handle which gives a nice feeling
Full-coverage steel fenders with a dent that most contributes to the beater look, some nice clubs and a stable basket. And integrated arm lock with a key left in the waist.
It's a nice build!
