Mondince FM336

[Rolle2k]

Couldn’t resist anymore and just ordered a Mondice FM336 frameset (size S) with a custom paint job.
Going for a chameleon finish (No.10) with a smooth gradient into black pearl – all in glossy. Really curious how the final result will turn out!

I have a other Mondince frame on order.. and i only had option to choose Pantone colors from Pantone chart.. was it now possible to order Cameleon and Metallic colors?!? Can you possibly post the color chart here if so...

I almost pulled the trigger on this frame - but i'm sceptic about tire clearance. 54mm clearance is a must for me, and i dont think it will be possible to squeeze that size in (with ok clearance on sides) since loca only say their frame clears 47mm (even of that is with ~8-10mm clearance around, 54mm tires with knobs will be too tight.

@Rolle2k what frame with 54mm tire clearance did you choose?

Which tires and which frame are you referring to?

[Rolle2k]

I bought no frame yet, since the only Chinese ones that seems to fit these tire widths are not what im looking for.. like the GR201 with its ultra low stack.. I want a frame that have geometry more kind of like this one (possibly a bit shorter reach on the Medium) but takes 54mm tires (thunder burt 2.1" on 32mm IW wheels measure ~54mm). Also not looking for a frame with too slack headtube angle, i want more reactive steering - this frame is quite good there.
I'm hoping that later this year more frames with bigger clearance will show up!

These are the available Chameleon colors

I emailed jack about tire clearances for this frame, and with 50mm WAM it is 4mm tire clearance, so as i guessed - not enough for me. Too bad, because it otherwise looks nice.

4mm on each side between tire and frame or fork is in accordance with ISO 4210-2:4.10.2 standart.
And yes, it looks like quite a few frames with more tire clearance than 50mm will come to the market this year.
So also I was thinking about waiting what's coming, but have ordered this FM336, as I like the geometry.

Agreed. I hope to be running TBs, but my IW is 24, so should measure around 50-51mm

any insight about this?

Hi guys, A friend of mine is almost to pull the trigger and make the purchase but he is in between sizes. He is 180cm height and not sure if proceed with M (490) or L (520) size.
Any recommendation or someone that was in the same situation?

Thanks in advance!

I’d lean towards size M (490), especially if he prefers a more responsive, sporty feel.

These bikes tend to run a bit long, and size L (520) can feel quite stretched unless he has a longer torso or specifically wants a more stable, relaxed position.

If he’s between sizes:
   •   M → more agile, more “in the bike” feeling
   •   L → more stable, but less lively

It’s also easier to make a slightly smaller frame work (e.g. with a longer stem or more spacers) than the other way around.

Also important to consider his saddle height:
If he has a relatively low saddle height, the smaller size usually works better because you stay more centered over the bike.

If he prefers a racier, road-like position → definitely go with M 👍

I'm the same height (inseam could be different though) and went with L. We'll see

Same height and went with Medium. I guess we’ll see haha. What color did you do? Maybe we can switch if it doesn’t go well haha

Edit. I wrote it in Polish😅

It's a nice color, and I was also thinking about using it in a paint job. Ultimately, I decided it would be more suited to the road, so the design below won. Playing with AI to paint a frame is fun.

I see that prices are quoted at discretion. My current price is €670 including shipping to Poland. This includes the frame and integrated handlebar.
