Frame and Wheel has seen a few Fuji SST bikes on the road and had a chance to inspect one closely. Frame and Wheel noticed that the down tube on the Fuji SST is a similar size to the MCR-01. Frame and Wheel was unable to close my thumb and forefinger around the down tube and is unable to do the same with the MCR-01 (The down tube of the MCR-01 is 5.4 cm). The rider of the Fuji frame said it was very stiff and he is pleased with it. Frame and Wheel has posted the geometry of the Fuji SST for comparison. Also, the top tube on the Fuji SST has triangular shape to it that is similar to the MCR-01. Frame and Wheel reads in the Fuji specs that the front triangle is monocoque and the rear triangle is attached to it using tube-to-tube technology. This is the same method used with the MCR-01. All of this suggests that the manufacturers in Asia are using similar molds and designs.
