DSCF1323

56cm Origin8 CX700 frame, Vuelta 700C Pro SL wheels, 130mm rear disc hub, Avid BB7 disc brakes. Frame (all steel) came in right at 6 lbs., fork is about 3 lbs. 2 oz. I liked this frame because of the flexibility it offered, multiple brake options, lots of cable routing options, threaded bosses for water bottle cages, fenders, racks, 130/135mm rear hub spacing, set up to run either geared or single speed, clearance for 2" wide tires, etc. The frame/fork is a bit on the heavy side, but seems to be very strong. I don't plan to race it but I do want something that is rugged and reliable that can handle longer rides with a mix of pavement and dirt.   (1/16)
