Long Teng / Mondince aero frame FM126

[ThiloK]

The indiegogo campaign was 750USD but shipping to europe was included, so it's quite a bit more expensive now

[jovivamo]

He contacted me via WhatsApp and said he could keep the price

[Vasegaard]

How much is he quoting you then?

[ThiloK]

I got quoted 850 USD with handlebars and 760 USD without. The campaign was 595€, so it's about 60€/10% more expensive. Don't know of shipping is extra now, it was included in the campaign

Edit shipping is not included and costs 150USD

That makes the bike ~220USD more expensive than the indiegogo campaign

The information is also very inconsistent, I asked for any changes in the mold or tyre clearance and he denied any changes to the indiegogo campaign

[Rolle2k]

Officially it always said 32c clearance in the campaign. But i think Serge talked with them about this, and they said they would change that to 35c. But i dont think that info ever changed on the indiegogo page.
I emailed them again asking about this.. the answer now was; The frame will take 32c tires with 5.5mm clearance, so you will be able to fit 35c tires if you want. But officially they say 32c.

Anyone received a frame yet?

Correct.
Financially you're not compensated anymore for committing so early.
Saying yes to everything upfront and figure things out / deny things later, is sketchy.
If it's not great value, hasn't seen a wind tunnel, is a sketchy process, and timelines are completely blind, well...
I stopped counting on this for the 2026 season myself.

Anyone got an update from Jack so far?

[Rolle2k]

Anyone received a frame yet?

manufacturing start is 2026-01-11 according to mondince... sooo quite certain nobody have one yet 

[kungie]

For anyone who has ordered the 54, is it still coming with the gold hardware (thru axle, etc) shown on the Indiegogo campaign?

[Rolle2k]

Nope, black hardware now according to conversation i had with them earlier this month.

[casper.f]

Any updates yet?

[Vasegaard]

On some of the photos you can see the bottom bracket pertruding from the frame with a small "lip". Is this normal for most T47I bike frames? It seems weird to me, but what do I know.

Since T47i is quite wide it have to be that way, if you don't want to make the frame wider around that aera.. nothing strange with that.. and since this is a road aero-bike with 32c clearance, they probably don't wanna make the frame wider than needed.

I'm still debating if i should order this frame or not. Quite interested in it, but it's alot of money, especially compared to the indiegogo campaign!

They are also on the geometry chart. I ask via WhatsApp.

any news about this handlebar?
