Long Teng / Mondince aero frame FM126

[Champirs]

Hi!Has anyone ordered the painting and what date did they receive? Thanks

[Joda55]

I have pre-ordered this frame as well now! Got the discount too. 611 EUR, without handlebars, incl shipping.

I ordered the size 58 but thinking about sizing down to 56. I'm 185 cm and have always been riding 58s but the difference in stack is quite significant here and the 56 would certainly be faster since the difference in reach is quite small.
This should be fine normally, I could just adjust with spacers and stem if needed. But I want to add TT aero clip on bars on this bike and wondering if the 56 would be unsuited for this.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Jack sent me the attached.
M and L molds are ready for production.
I think pricing is ~$750+150 shipping to EU for frameset with bars, with 1 colour. (headline price, no discount)
Not cheap, but looks good!

611 eur = 700$, if shipping is 150, that's 550$ w/o bars and i assume w/o paint.
If TT, you probably want the highest stack possible.

Did you go for it ? Is it really different from your LT268 ?
So they only have white color ?

No, i'm just posting the picture as an FYI for forum users.
Too similar to my LT268, in fact. Back in the summer, the frame was supposed to be 34C if not 35C, i forgot, and be cheap, and light, and aero, and tralala. Now, it seems it's only 32C, so doesnt make sense for me, the 268 is not only 32C, but it's a generous 32C, my 32C conti measures 34.5mm and i have plenty of space. I'd consider upgrading for something that's 34 or 35C for more grip, better puncture protection, and generally being more relaxed about hairpins and shitty road surfaces, but this isn't the frame for that anymore, unfortunately. And it's not cheap anymore either. It's still good value, but it's not the no brainer that it was last summer.
I'm sure they have every colour you can dream of, paint is paint.

It is supposed to be 32c with 5.5+5.5mm clearance.. so if you are ok with 4mm clearance it will take 35mm WAM tires.
Mine is supposed to be shipped quite soon. But i don't even know if i will finish the build this summer (quite short summer in northern Scandinavia).
Will probably look for new Ultegra once it releases.. :-)

Do you know the exact size of the headset bearing used ?

Contacted the seller, size 61 not available yet with no expected release-date.
Unfortunately have to keep looking for a similar frame

Altough its far from the same frame category: the LCR018D is an option looking at stack and reach.
LCR in 58: 606 stack (+ a mandatory bearing cap of 8mm) and a 396 reach
FM126 in 61: 612 stack, 408 reach
So running a stem thats 10mm longer gets you into +-2mm on stack and reach at least.

Looking to build up a new bike and been reading a lot of the threads on this forum.

I had pretty much made my mind on getting the Speeder SC-R55D. However despite an initial response from Justin letting me know the price, I havent heard back from him when I sent a few follow up questions and said I wanted to order.

Came across the FM126 today. Are we able to order one off frames? The Mondice website for this frame says MOQ of 20?

Yes, you can order single frames. There seems like it is no longer MOQ of 20pcs.

This is correct. I am in contact with them. Very fast to respond. Very likely going to order. Would you folks reccomend the handlebar that comes with it or suggest another one?

I’ve already ordered. I’m planning to use the handlebars included for the indefinite time unless I don’t like them. Was interested in these from lightcarbon before realizing handlebars come with the bike: https://www.lightcarbon.com/ultra-light-and-aero-carbon-road-integrated-handlebar_p257.html

When are you expected to be delivered ?

I asked him about size 58 : it is under testing so not ready yet
