MONTAGUE BIKES IS ANNOUNCING THE RELEASE
OF A BRAND NEW FULL-SIZE FOLDING BIKE:
The 2010 Montague FIT Folding Bike!
Montague FIT Folding Bike
The all new 2010 FIT performs marvelously and is very unique in its look and functionality. It is a lightweight, 700c, flat bar road bike with a low-spoke count, ideal for fitness and commuting use. It folds in under 20 seconds without the use of tools, offering flexibility in today’s multi-tasking world.
It is the perfect bike for everyday riders and weekend warriors. It comes in 17” and 19” frame sizes, has 27 speeds, and a brand new feature called the Octagon. The Octagon is a stem with a unique design allowing for handlebar height to be changed while preserving the way the bike handles and rides. The post has an octagonal shape, so steering remains engaged raising or lowering the stem.
The FIT is available for purchase at a suggested retail price of $1299.00.
Ride Safe,

Have you prodiced or are you by any chance considering a version of the Montague Fit with drop handlebars?
We’ve looked at the possibility but having drop bars would make the bike significantly wider when folded. With the current flat bars, they can turn in and rest tight against the frame. Though it would be possible to add drops if you wanted.
I only need to put the bike in the boot of a car. Folded width isn’t a concern. But what changes would be needed for the brakes and shifters to accommodate drop bars and can you outline an approach and products to use?
We recommend talking to your local bike shop when it comes to customizing. Most likely you’ll need new brake and derailleur cable wiring done. Talking to your local bike shop will help with component selection as you will be able to see and interact with the products directly and choose what suits your preferences best. Montague folding bikes take standard components so you should have many options available for whatever you’d like to do.
Hiya,
what’s the mount diameter for bars please?
Hey Matt,
On the FIT, the diameter where the stem clamps is 25.4mm. The diameter for the rest of the bar where the brake and shifters clamp is 22.2mm.
