Its Raining Nashbars': Any idea who made this frame!
I had posted awhile back about a Nashbar road bike I picked up. Bikedued had noticed that it bore a strong resemblance to a Schwinn Circuit of the same era. Here is a pic of that bike.

A forum member contacted me about Nashbar touring frame he had and a trade was made. (Thanks phillyrider). Below are pics and again I am wondering who the maker might be. The frame is light and well made. It has 3 sets of bottle mounts, chain hanger, pump peg, rear rack mounts, fender mounts and chromed Shimano drop outs. The fork crown is internally lugged and the frame sports a Tange 2 sticker. Anyone recognize anything that would help id the builder?

Look, it's cracked right thru the top tube at the seat lug!

It has single eyelets for fenders and no lowrider mounts. Kind of a funny arrangement of features for a touring bike... Also, those appear to be Suntour dropouts.

The touring frame looks to be a 25", while the other bike has a 23" frame.
