I have seen these made in Taiwan full carbon frames for sale at good prices on the net.Has anyone used a Origin 8 frame or have any feedback on them?Any clue as to which factory in Taiwan makes them?Thanks for any replies-Jordan.

I understand that Origin 8 is the house brand for one of the big cycling parts distributors. I picked up a fork with an aluminum steerer on the cheap, and really like the ride quality. It replaced an EC90slx, and I can't tell the difference (maybe the Origin 8 is a little stiffer in the turns?) Ironically, with the 250 gm difference in weight, I can't tell the bike got any heavier.

The weight thing is so overblown.
