Seat post size is also the very popular 27.2mm, so most common mtb posts will fit fine. Standard 1 1/8th head tube here, so your favorite classic head set will slip right in. The top tube is slightly tear drop shaped and the seat tube appears to be a sleeved, two piece affair that approximates a bend to accommodate the Scout’s very short chain stay arrangement. The frame, although made of 4130 ChroMo heat treated steel and inexpensive, actually has some shaping to the tubing. Like many frames today for 29″ers, the Scout 29 features a bent down tube to clear suspension fork crowns. (We’ve seen street prices for this frame for significantly less) Here we’ll take a look at the frame and features that Origin 8 packed in at a MSRP of $200.00. Origin 8 set out to address this issue with the second generation Scout 29 and still offer a high value frame that wouldn’t break the bank. That frame met with some negative criticism for its minimal tire clearance. Origin 8 originally did the Scout as a black frame/fork a few years ago. As mentioned in our News And Rumors post, we have recently obtained a new Origin 8 Scout frame to test/review.
