Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel

Any chance of using the forum image function as Imgur is blocks UK users?

Just curious, do the images I hosted on imgbb.com work for UK users?

My frame arrived eventually, I'm quite impressed with the paintjob, it looks very well done
Frame and fork are quite well finished, seatpost looks a bit cheap but nothing to worry about
Also the frame storage it's not just a cutout but an bathtub shaped insert inside the downtube, everything seems allright
I'll just to measure everything and make it work now

Looks great! Can't make it out... what color is that? (chocolate?) Hilarious amount of clearance... seems you could fit 32inch wheels w/ road tires

My gravel racing season done, my focus now shifts to this new build.

Weight (S):
Frame: 1282g
Fork: 464g

Some shots showing clearance w/ 50mm gravel tires (measured w/ digital caliper)

Fork...estimated 10mm clearance, which lines up with lkip's measurement:


Seat stay, robust clearance:


Rear well...estimated 8mm, again lining up with lkip's measurement:


Seat tube clearance:

Hey folks
Probably a daft question, but do you just email them to order?
Cheers!

I used WhatsApp.  They're very responsive.

Have you had a chance to measure the clearance for tires that are at least 50mm wide? How much space in mm is left between the tire and a frame?

Just posted above...

Can you try to fit 8mm allen key... it fits?

It appears to.

This frame looks really nice. A few more mm of clearance in the rear would be nice but this could work.

Are these measurements for the 395mm axle-to-crown fork?

What about chainring clearance?

It's candy red gloss trasparent paint over raw carbon.
With the awful neon light in my basement doesn't look red but outdoor with sunlight it's really nice.
I was hoping for a slighlty brighter red color but it's sleeker this way

Sorry should have done this earlier. No 6mm barely fits and 5mm passes through easily... so I'd say 5.5mm clearance on the rear well w/ 50mm measured tires.

Yes, 395mm A-C but I haven't installed components yet

That looks really good. I've ordered mine in a dark burgundy.

It is really nice frame indeed. I think the geometry looks very progressive and most gravel bikes turn this way in few years. Will probably place an order too...

Anyone tried to ride the frame so far? How is it?

First customer picture. That's a lot of spacers

Edit: Just noticed the fender bolts. Must have been their first batch.

Will start build this weekend.  Waiting on a stem.
