new origin 8 frame
anyone know what pricing of this frameset is, or if its available yet, looks to be pretty beefy with fender mounts, could be a good city/commuter bike...

upward facing track ends mean that the brake pads stay aligned with the rims as the chain wears. If they're straight, you have to continually readjust.

Its basic black and the frame aesthetics do leave a lot to be desired.
A pity, considering Origin8 makes pretty good stuff.
This is one frame that brings out all the detractors on here!

i feel like it's good to see an alu design that doesn't look like a pista concept.
still, this one is a little offensive and reminds me of a pk ripper standing on its head.
feels bad, man.
