Fort owners - assemble

mines low pro.
so excited to build it!

The old steel ones were faux pro

mines aluminium..

Mine was low....

^^ whats the angle on your stem?

Does anyone know about the Sonic branded frame? It's exactly the same as the Fort 7005 Track (blue) but instead of saying Fort, it says Sonic. Seen a messenger riding one in London and if they're still produced I wouldn't mind getting one. Can't seem to find anything on them as it goes!

Londonengers riding Sonic branded bikes are likely to have got them from Sonic Cycles, non?

Yeah, I've looked there. It's not either of those though so I'm wondering if it's an older model they offered. Shame!

Forgot to post my newly built Fort on here.

Smallest headtubes in the game

For sure! Mine has a whole 81mm!

Any of you lot know what bottom bracket threading Forts usually have? I presume English but just double checking before buying anything. Cheers!

I presume English

There are at least 3 different BB threadings which could be called "English" :-)

Forts are 1.370"×24tpi BSC, LH thread on drive side, RH thread on NDS, 68mm shell width for road/track.

Cheers!
I'm still slightly confused though haha, my frame looks to be pretty much the same as your orange one, any chance you know if this would fit?
Thanks a lot :)

If it's the same as mine, that BB would fit, but JP400s are a bit shit, it would be worth paying the extra few quid for a Shimano UN55

i agree with tester muchly, may i point you in the direction of my thread where i have a un55 or a tange ln3922 for sale...

i apoligise for the shameless plug

Thanks a lot! I can't really afford anything more expensive than that at the minute unfortunately, the bottom bracket wasn't something I was planning on replacing for this build. Cheers for the help though!

Oh balls, didn't refresh the thread before buying the one on Planet X. That would have been perfect as well, sorry man!

Bout to join the "Fort Owners" club with this little beauty, hopefully in a few weeks.

Really nice build there Dakin. Are those^ your own decals? I really like them.

I've just built up my Track.Aero (with some serious help from Antidotes) I'll post some pics up soon.

Bought this a few months ago and did a bit of swapping parts

Currently looking like this
