Nashbar and Performance's parent company went belly up half a year ago to a few different groups. A company out of CA bought the online names of performance and nashbar, and they just sell a bunch of normal gear you can find at dozens of other online retailers.
The original nashbar stopped carrying their house brand frames and forks around q4 of last year. As they sold inventory, it wasnt replaced. Ends up they had credit issues for many months prior to being auctioned off, which explains the dwindling inventory over the last year of business.
1" threaded is probably an ebay buy. There are 1" threadless for less than whiskey, for what it's worth.
Dang I had no idea. I know Performance brick & mortar stores closed, but I had no idea the online was crashing as well. I'd noticed over the last year that Nashbar's site stock wasn't what it used to be. Very interesting, thanks.

Hoenstly, I have no idea. It's a Cannondale R300 - and this is my first time looking into getting a replacement fork so I'm just discovering all the different measurements and whatnots that are necessary to get the right thing. I haven't done a lot of research yet so if you have any knowledge on it I'm happy to listen!
