Hello. I'm new to touring and was wandering if anyone had any veiws on the touring frame sold by Bike Nashbar. I'm planning mostly 3 to 5 day tours that will be self supported. Thanks.

haven't heard about the touring frame, but i have the nashbar aluminum road frame and the steel mtn bike frame. both of which are strong frames, lightweight and a damn good bargin for the price. i would imagine the quality would be the same with the touring frames. the road frame i've had for about 3 years and just got the mtn frame built up this year. i'm very satisfied with them.
