Origin 8 'Tessa' rims are rebranded Weinmanns and their track hubs are rebranded Formulas.
And yeah...we all buy things for aesthetic reasons (bike-related and otherwise).
Im pretty sure the tessas are actually marketed by eighthinch. Origin8 makes a different line of wheels, such as
these which look kinda nice (look at those hubs!) but i havent seen anyone on this forum who owns a pair.

Kinda pricey though, for that kinda dough mavics or velocities laced to formulas seem like a safer bet.

Would it somehow be possible to run his 35mm Randonneurs on the wheelset, or will this result in some sort of drastic failure?
Anyone? Any advice would be nice.
