The SLC frame is our best "bang for your buck" with the same low pricing as in years past. Proprietary extruded aluminum tubes are used throughout and provide a very stiff frame, with carbon fiber seatstays to smooth out the bumps and keep that fighting (or should we say climbing) weight. Compact frame geometry also deflects rear-end shock by transmitting it less directly towards the saddle, with the elongated seat post absorbing additional road vibration with its natural flex and material damping. Complete customized buildkits based on Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo components are also available from Fort Bicycles.

Tom S - Dumfries, VA just returned from a 60 plus mile ride on the SLC...awesome bike... comfortable and smooth. Real good fit...felt good. It was worth the wait.
