Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel

[CJ]

Hi! I agree with the opinion that the bike looks great.
I have two questions. Please tell me what is your height, frame size (If I'm not mistaken, it's a S) and stem length.
And I'm also interested in the screw hole (for fixing the trunk) in the crown of the fork

Thanks!

Height: 5'9"/175cm
Frame Size: S
Stem: 110mm -17° stem

And yes, there's a screw underneath the crown of the fork

Some shots after the race:

Didn't you have enough shots during the race?!

Awesome bike!

Waiting... they usually have a livestream, there was a guy recording from his phone but I guess it wasn't livestreamed this year.  There were definitely photographers on course, I just emailed the organizer to inquire.

I was (trying to) make a joke about the fact that you did actual fireball shots during the race, but I would love to see more photos as well

LMAO...good one!!!! Whoooosh...my bad 🫣

The interesting thing with this forum being so international, I realize English is a 2nd language for many so I subconsciously account for mistranslation and simplify things in my head...then this happens 

I barely started feeling better last night.  I never want to think about alcohol or "shots" ever again lol

Thanks for the pics and updates CJ! Much appreciated.

I will probably also go for this frame. At first I was hoping for some black Friday deals for the Propain Terrel, but the higher end builds are now out of stock (EU). Only not sure if I should go for the FM316 or FM326 model. I have a MTB background and this will be my first gravel bike (or any drop bars bike for that matter). Not really looking for races, but going for longer distances and some bikepacking in the future. The less aggressive position on the FM326 will be an easier transition I guess. Any thoughts?

I am am looking to get one too, The FM326 and 316 are identical outside of the fork from my understanding.

I pulled the trigger and ordered FM316.
I liked CJ's bike so much that I ordered the same color (sorry CJ!  )

Today was my 3rd ride on the FM316, 1st on gravel at a race in West Texas. The bike was amazing. As reported in my 1st ride on tarmac, it feels very much like a road bike while maintaining compliance and stability.  I felt in full control on loose turns amidst a pack, managed washboards without much discomfort, and descended w/ ease. It accelerates much better than what I was previously used to. In short, it performed flawlessly. (I, on the other hand, did not)

Love the bike! What outfront mount solution do you have?

Congrats and no worries at all! Color was an afterthought for me... the one on the site was fine.  My friend on the other hand was VERY particular taking a couple days of deliberation before settling specific 2-tone scheme lol

Thanks! It's a SoPro Out Front mount:

I just got a message from Mondince that my frame is now shipped. 12 days from ordering, not bad! Now it'll probably take a couple of weeks for it to arrive here to Finland.

[gribs]

I got the same this morning but after ordering in mid October. Hopefully it'll be here in a week or two.

Some pics of the FM316 in action this past Saturday

Great photos CJ!
Any further thoughts? Curious how you're finding that steep seat tube - I'm finding that quite an attractive proposition :-)
