Hey there i’m looking at building up a older bike for some commuting/dirt shredding
I’m tall and this seems to be a contender that I found on fb marketplace.
Never heard of Nashbar and can’t find anything online.
Any info helps!!

Nashbar was a very large, well-known mail-order catalog of bicycle equipment, parts, clothes, and even whole bicycles. They didn’t seem to have any of their own factories, but would contract with builders such as Giant, Maruishi, and others.
Many of their bikes were named after the groupset the bike was equipped with. This bike is equipped with Suntour accushift 4050, and as such “4050” is probably the name of this model (there may be a letter or two to designate that this model is a mountain bike.) For example, the R7000 was a road bike that used Suntour Cyclone 7000 parts.
Most Nashbar bikes were middle of the line, the had some good bikes but nothing “great,” and likewise they had some more entry-level bikes, but certainly nothing “bad.”
This is a late-80’s steel mountain bike. Accushift 4050 would have been a middle-of-the-road parts group.
