Origin 8 Del Pasado
 

Am researching this frameset.

Any opinions would be appreciated as i have never rode or seen one or know anyone who has.

thanks. :giver:

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. They are just so cheap.

yeah at adrenaline they have em for 180 plus 40 for shipping but i cant find any real geometry or stand over heights

you know that thing costs $99 retail.

i like the low seat stays!

nah that's wholesale.

thats it, wholesale. it doesn't matter, the bike is still kinda iffy

takes a 25.4 seatpost or something. cheap crappy tubing. would not buy. get a scrambler instead.

better idea the tomasso agusta is on sale for like 225 plus free shipping for the frame and fork in white blue and orange @ rs cycle

tomasso agusta

bike is not for me, or anyone i know.

i am simply looking for opinions, not suggestions, but thanks.

ok, here is an opinion. crap. a big pile of steaming **** kicked out of a factory in china. horrible tubing, ugly welds, but it looks like it could bar spin

reminds me of my mbk that i was originally going to convert to fixed. ended up building up the frame with some gears

4 posts up: "kinda iffy"

last post: "pile of steaming ****"

lol. which one is it?

4 posts up is some tomasso. that's not an origin 8, just posted because it's a good deal and in the neighborhood of this origin 8 frame

the pile of **** is a motobecane, and I guarantee a good sight better than the origin 8 frame. this is based off the fact that the bit of experience i've had with origin 8 stuff has been full of lols at the terrible quality

the mbk rides great, makes for a nice commuter and much more practical than any other bike for $280 that i can think of.

yeah lupin, i was writing a reply to joeeasy, and you posted before i hit send. wasnt calling ur moto a piece of ****. :)

4130 is fine, Surly makes all there stuff out of it, and they've been doing it for a while.

Welds are completely cosmetic.

Everything comes from china/asia.

I wouldn't buy it, but it's comparable to every other cheap "track" bike.

This is what I was thinking. So the quality of this bicycle is comparable to BD bikes and the sub 500 dollar brand name bikes? Seems about right.

thanks.

lol okay, i was all like :( it's not that bad.

but i'd still pass on the origin 8 frame. their pedals are garbage, but they come in colors so they sell like crazy

The thing is a cheap rip off of other frames. Welds look more like barbie toys-r-us bikes for $39.95.

My buddy has one of these, he really likes it and others that have ridden it really likes it... and if I recall, it can't do bar spins cause the wheel still hits it... and I think the only major complaint is that the bottom bracket sits pretty low...

due post some pics of your buddies bike i'm quite curious as to what one looks like in its natural habitat.
