This bike is stupidly fast to handle. Like a cross bike. Have to test more. And those burts are faaaaast.
If I could choose again, I would take the 130mm reach to handlebar. But now I'm moving the saddle a little back. 40mm setback will be ok.

178cm and 76cm saddle height. FM316 size M.
Spcycle HB-068 120mm handlebar.

I'm wondering, what's the delivery time to Europe in your cases ?

One month and there is all. Painting in the color I chose.

And now the steering is fine. I moved the front axle to the rear position using the flipchip.

Do not think about fm316 long reach. Just move the saddle forward and use the normal stem length. Geometry is excelent.

For me, it was about a month as well.
By air freight, in case you are wondering about the potential of having the parcel stuck on a ship

Holy cow, I am a few cm taller but also ride the M as FM326. However, just a 70mm stem.
Looks like here is my confirmation that I am as flexible as an iron rod 😥

Nice build! Which wheelset are you currently running?  8)

Correct me if i'm wrong, by month you are telling the whole process right? I Was wondering only about shipping to Europe. Becausue i've ordered framset almost month ago, last weekend they done painting in wrong colour, so the shipping will be delayed by week ...

Which is the most agressive frame from Mondince with geometry close to road bike? Im looking for a do it all allroad aero bike which take larger tyres than the Light carbon lcr018.

FM316
Been looking at it for similar reason.

What's the difference between FM316 and the FM336 with internal storage?

While the 316 and the 326 are basically the same bike with a different fork, the 336 is a different design (someone wrote like the trek checkpoint or checkmate).
As always with bikes, not better or worse - you just need to figure out what you want first

EDIT: Or do you mean how much more fits into either internal storage compartment?

The FM336 is essentially a Cube Nuroad. Some mild differences in geo. Mondince even makes all of cubes bikes.

The frame geometry is 1 to 1 Trek Checkmate SLR. The fork only has a 55mm offset instead of 49mm like the Trek.
