Anectdote.
I messaged Fort on Facebook to ask for more details on this frame etc (on top of Malaysian's very helpful background). The CEO of Fort Bicycles, Darren Johnson came back to me (USA bought the Czech company) and we've had a bit of chat so far, he's extremely helpful...He is also sending me free stuff (decals for frame etc).
A few quotes
"The decal refers to the Sanko Tubing (Made in Japan) but the frame was made in the Czech Republic - I'll do a little research and find out what else I can on that sweet ride"
"I've looked at all the literature back to 1999, which is about when FORT was brought to the U.S. I can't find info on your particular frame, and the only offered then was the Track Aero. I do have a couple of the downtube decals and a similar decal to the one on the seatube. I also have the Sanko tube decal. I'll take a pic and e-mail it to you if you want. We'll keep digging on info for the frame!"
"Man, I want that bike! "
"That frame is 10cm too big for me, and I still want it!!"
Anyway, I recommend dealing with him if any Fort owners need anything, lovely chap.
^cool story bro etc.
