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
