Yeah, generally it just has a really long top tube and short headtube for it's frame size, 58. I'm used to riding short wheelbase race geometry and found it strange. ALso the Nashbar fork is like a 4 pound beast, I don't think the frame is bent, I'm just not used to riding bikes that long and I found that I was mainly riding it for gravel rides and didn't really benefit from the touring features and the anchor fork so I started looking for a new fork. I ended up finding one attached to a frame so I dismantled the Nashbar and it's been collecting dust for 3 years.

Also I had problems with cantilevers since the frame doesn't have the appropriate cable stops I had to get adapters. Using the travel agents and Vs will fix that.
