You can use up to a true 2.1" in the original. Ottoreni: No, the new frames will not be made available until the current 68mm shell frames are depleted.

You can use up to a true 2.1″ in the original.

Also, what was the widest tire that could be fit in the old model (68mm bb shell) and still have the 16.75 chainstay length? Thanks!! Are the Origin 8 Scout Frames with the 73mm bb shells available?

It is relatively cheap as it is built out of chromolly. Specs can be sussed here http://www.origin-8.com/ and the drop outs are featured here http://www.origin-8.com/scout.htm The Origin 8 Scout has a non-replaceable der hanger integrated in the horizontal drops.

We may very well be looking at two entirely different models with the one being the Mud Queen and the other The Mountain King, because both are coming as 29"er models. Hot patches and details are sometimes sketchy before production models arrive. GreenLightGo: It is indeed an SS frame with an integral derailluer hangar, much like a Soma Juice or Karate Monkey would have. Chad: Indeed, the two are dissimilar.

The metals market got hit hard a few years ago with stainless & structural steel prices going crazy and the same thing is happening here. Companies will be looking for ways to use less butyl in all types of tires and tubes and of course the bicycle market is just one small piece of the pie.
