A Big‑Frame Classic, Rebuilt From the Ground Up

This XL Nishiki Backroads has been completely torn down and rebuilt in‑house at Grizzly Cycles. Every bearing, every cable, every adjustment — touched, cleaned, dialed, and brought back to life. If you’re 6'0" and up and want a vintage steel bike that’s ready to ride today, this is it.

And if you’re dreaming about building your own ATB or xbiking‑style rig? This is the perfect starting point.

 What We Did (Full Rebuild)

• Complete teardown + inspection

• Bottom bracket overhauled

• Headset overhauled

• Hubs adjusted + serviced

• Fresh cables & housing throughout

• ATB‑style tires for mixed‑terrain riding

• Comfortable modern saddle

• Full safety check + test ride

This bike rides exactly the way it should have when it was new — maybe better.

 Size & Fit

• Size: XL — ideal for riders 6'0" and above

• Classic upright, stable geometry

• Great for commuting, fitness rides, canal paths, and weekend exploring

 Current Setup

• Steel frame + rigid fork

• Fully rebuilt drivetrain

• ATB‑style tires for pavement + dirt

• Comfortable, upright cockpit

• Ready to ride immediately

 Why It’s Special

This Backroads is the rare vintage bike that works beautifully as a turn‑key rider, but also makes an incredible ATB conversion platform. With the right parts, you could easily turn it into:

• A 1x ATB build

• A bikepacking rig

• A gravel‑ish drop‑bar setup

• A retro‑mod commuter

• Or keep it exactly as it is — simple, clean, and fun

The XL size makes it especially appealing for tall riders who rarely find vintage steel that fits.
