I definitely was not implying any sort of conspiracy or anything, I just noticed a striking similarity. It makes me feel better knowing WB will put their name on them as I've been eyeing the Origin 8. Cool, thanks for the info.

It's an awesome fork, I have had one for a couple months and I love it. As far as the Black Ops fork, yes it's most likely the same. It also appears to be the same as the Fetish Cycles carbon fork. WB has made no secret of the fact that they are getting the fork from Taiwan...in fact, Tim Fry the owner of MRP (White Bros) went on to MTBR and clarified the entire situation. A-C is 465.

Anyone agree? Same factory maybe? That fork looks a whole lot like the Origin 8 Black Ops that’s on the Bikeman site. Anyone agree? Same factory maybe?

Sounds like fun. I would suggest removing the saddle and grips for more weight savings and fun. You might want to glue a few thumbtacks where the grips were to further enhance your riding enjoyment. Gorilla glue works well. Maybe a little bit of sulfuric acid in your contact lens case will add to the trail ambiance. You guys are amazing! This is from an OLD guy who loves his Gary Fisher Supercal with the couch like stock saddle and dual suspension. Very cute toddler. Happy Holidays to all, enjoy the trails!

Looks like I'll be getting mine next week. Once I get the new frame build up I'll post my thoughts on the fork. Will be my first rigid bike since I was a kid so will have little to compare it too.
