Origin 8 cranks

Origin 8 cranks by SuperEvilBrian.
Same exact thing as Sugino Messenger cranks but $100 less. There are two differences, the Sugino cranks were sort of pinkish where these are RED. And these use 130 BCD rings whereas the Messenger cranks use 144 BCD rings.

I saw online matching rings for these cranks. They came with a wimpy 46t but I want 48 or 49. Failing that, then the magnificent TA Specialties rings work very well.

I bought these at the best bike shop in Austin, Mellow Johnny's.

Totally!

Are you going to the thing at Mellow Johnny's on the 5th for the first stage of the Tour de France? They're having some big shindig of sorts ... I'm going.

Very, very nice sir. They'll look even better once filthy, of course.

They seem OK. The finish was MUCH nicer than the Sugino Messenger cranks. As far as I'm concerned, they're the same thing - except for the different BCD.

If you do buy these, I'd recommend the TA Alize chainrings.
