Spotted this oddball at a pawn shop over the weekend - a Nashbar C/Tour probably from the late 80's. 26" wheels, drop bars with Suntour SL indexing barcons, XCE drivetrain, U-brake at the rear wheel, Ishiwata EX frame, Tange MTB fork! The frame looked pretty cheaply made, and although it has "tour" in the name, it only had one bottle cage mount, and one set of eyelets at each fork end. I'd be curious to take some measurements to see if they just took an MTB and slapped the drop bars on it, I couldn't really eyeball it accurately from my vantage point. Tempting for $60, but I passed.
