I took this pic yesterday on the way home. The hues look a little odd I think because of the low sun angle. It's a 1994 Kent, WA, built Nishiki Sport XRS. I got it as a NOS bike (complete with original store price tag and tire nubbies) just about a year ago.
I consider it a hybrid because:
. Traditional diamond frame geometry (albeit with a slight slope to the top tube)
. Fixed suspension
. 700x38C Kenda hybrid tires (smooth riding with a slightly aggressive tread)
. Flat handlebar (although I swapped in an Origin8 Space Bar)
. Lots of mounting lugs (two pair in the back, one in the front, plus two pair of bottle cage braze-ons)
. Mountain bike gearing with a triple front chain ring
The bike was built for versatility and perfectly fits the bill for the urban street and trail riding in my area. I wasn't looking for a hybrid, but now that I have one I realize a hybrid perfectly fits my transportation needs.
