Now we know why there's a worldwide shortage of black duct tape.
It's an 89 Nishiki Barbarian, their e-stay variation. Considered a mid to lower grade model, I was very impressed by the quality of frame construction when I stripped it down.
Gun Blued the frame and top coated with epoxy. Now a 2x2, single speed, dingle speed something or other. Very much like a 26" bmx mtb.
