Vacationing at Altamira?

The city of Altamira is located in northern Spain where the beach cliffs, valleys, mountains and forests create a mosaic of contrasting landscapes. It has been the vacation region of the Mediterranean since time began and where Spain goes to relax, socialize, and visit its deep history, it was this region that inspired the Fuji Altamira.
The Altamira is Fuji’s conflicted brother to the SST, with the SST being designed as an uber stiff frameset race bike, alternately, the Altamira has been designed for both the racer, and for the long distance rider, who wants to ride a lightweight carbon framed bike but with a more relaxed geometry

One of the most notable features is that Fuji has shortened the top tube by nearly 27mm, giving you a shorter reach, and combined with a substantially longer head-tube, will place you and your handlebars at less of an angle, sitting you up, and keeping you comfortable on both long and short rides.

Fuji has left everything else on this great frameset alone. Like its brother the Altamira is made of; C-4 carbon with the really cool wrinkled fiber weave and has an integrated head tube and 1 1/2" lower bearings, oversized 34.9mm round seat tube, oversized PIIS BB-86 shell, double water bottle mounts, carbon drop outs with a replaceable hanger, and FC-770 Carbon with a tapered alloy steerer & carbon drop out.
The drivetrain is a Shimano 105 groupo with Oval bars, brakes, seat-tube and 524 wheelset covered in Continental Ultra Sport tires.The price tag of the Altamira is reasonable at $1999.99  $1699,99 with its MSRP at $2549.00 and is available in sizes from 44cm to 58cm showing its versatility in being ridden by both male and female riders. We have a full size run in the shop now so we have one in your size that you can take out for a test ride and see why Fuji is a leader in bike therapy
