You may not "need" another bike but n+1 is always a thing, no?
I believe Origin8 sources them from Formula, but usually make some slight modifications so they are proprietary. Most Origin8 components are rebranded / slightly modified versions of other supplier options. They are an in-house brand of one of the 2 big bicycle distributors so they don't 'make' their own components. But that is a common approach for many brands. They don't actually make the components, but source them from suppliers in Taiwan (or China) to their specs.
