The 2009 Cross.Max.SSC cyclocross frameset is a state-of-the-art ultralight 'cross frame for competition at the highest levels. The hand-made T-6 aluminum butted frame features an oversized extruded aluminum down tube and hydroformed top tube, with a carbon fiber seat stay. The hand-built Cross.Max.SSC frameset is now available at a price far below comparable European 'cross frames. The Alpha-Q CX carbon fork, at 490 grams, is the benchmark that other fork companies have tried to match. Alpha-Q 'cross forks are proven winners, unmatched in precision handling and cutting-edge weight. Additional cyclocross components and complete customized buildkits based on Shimano, SRAM, or Campagnolo drivetrains are also available from Fort Bicycles.
