I want to build up a 2010 Nashbar Aluminum touring frame but I don't know the length of the fork it was designed for.

Here's a link to the old product page:
https://www.nashbar.com/reviews/nash...rame-Fork.html

Here's what it looked like. Dark bluish green, cro-mo. If I remember they weighed a ton

Seems like Nashbar would be the folks to ask this question.

If you read your link carefully and notice the stated specs and believe the comments of one reviewer, understand conventional fork specifications, and apply the Pythagorean theorem, then you will conclude the fork's ATC distance is 410mm.

I think a Kona Project 2 fork would make a perfect substitute, and a Salsa Vaya fork is very close.

I have two of those, at home, but can't get to them till the 29th, so not much help. I have asked the staff there for specs when making my own frames and they were prompt with their replies, but if they don't have any stock it may not be possible for them.

I noticed that, but I don't think he's a reliable source. I found another post on the internet claiming they were 370mm -- which seems ridiculously short.. but maybe. I've contacted Nashbar, that's a good idea.

Thanks, I've sent Nashbar an email. Hopefully they'll help me out on Monday. If I can get the info I'll update the thread

These measurements are from memory so they're not precise.

I'm running 35s on mine and I'd approximate having about 10mm of clearance to the unicrown. I'd say it's somewhere near 390.

When I get home I will update the thread, if the data doesn't come sooner, or my results are different. I also have the Nashbar XC fork for 700c.

"Weighing a ton" it may have not been Chromoly .. you make parts of lower cost steels adequate in strength by using more steel.
