  Strings on $AdS_3 \times S^3\times S^3\times S^1$ with mixed flux exhibit
exact integrability. We wish to construct an integrable Neumann-Rosochatius
(NR) model of strings starting with the type IIB supergravity action in $AdS_3
\times S^3\times S^3\times S^1$ with pure NSNS flux. We observe that the forms
of the Lagrangian and the Uhlenbeck integrals of motion of the considered
system are NR-like with some suitable deformations which eventually appear due
to the presence of flux. We utilize the integrable framework of the deformed NR
model to analyze rigidly rotating spiky strings moving only in $S^3\times S^1$.
We further present some mathematical speculations on the rounding-off nature of
the spike in the presence of non-zero angular momentum $J$ in $S^1$.
