Anyone have any info or know anything else about this bike? I know Nashbar sold its own frames and full bikes, but not sure if this was a clone of something else or what year it was. I can’t find anything about it anywhere online.

No idea at all but it’s a quality frame. Lovely forks and lugs, nice clearance and looks relaxed enough geo wise.
A Nashbar frame with lugs is very old. Early 90s perhaps. Probably made in Taiwan. Later on their frames came from China and they were not so good.
I think I found the answer to my own question after some quick digging around… I’m 95% positive that this is a Maruishi-built bike for Nashbar, and specifically a rebranded Maruishi Tourace.
Was considering deleting this thread but will leave it up for the future if anyone else happens to be searching for the same info.
It can be really hard to find info on where they sourced their bikes from, but I feel like most that I’ve seen were pretty decent. $100 is quite good for a touring bike such as this.
