Fort Frames, sro was formed in 1992 by a group of young bike enthusiasts and recent engineering grads at about the same time as the Soviet empire crumbled, prompting a surge of new business enterprises throughout Eastern Europe. The core founders included 4-time Czech National cross country Champion Radovan Fort, whose name was adopted for the brand.
While Eastern Europe languished in obscurity during the Soviet years, and manufacturing in those countries often left a lot to be desired, cycling and bike racing was always a passion there. Strong riders emerging from Kazakstan, Russia, Lithuania, East Germany and CZ, etc, were nurtured in a culture that adores cycling heroes. This whole region is undergoing an amazing technological and economic renaissance, in which new products--such as Fort Frames--are busily making a name for themselves. Currently, Fort Frames employs almost 70 persons and builds over 15,000 frames per year, including significant frame production for other European bike brands.
