Mondince FM336

[Igital96]

Waiting for your build. Mondice was a pleasure to work with when I was making my order, paint options etc. they also acted very nicely after my accident and stopped the production process and refunded me money, because I won't be able to ride bikes for a long time now, if ever again.

Hope you guys enjoy your frames and waitng for them builds

Excited to see it for the first time. Did they send any pictures before shipping it?

[Igital96]

They must have had some sort of complaint, because he sent me the same message. He also asked if I was still interested the frame due to this limitation.

Nice stack of distances under the stem.

Yes, I texted him as soon as I saw the tire clearance issue, that's why he texted all of you regarding that.

Don't look at stem spacers. I am figuring out the fit, I know they look ugly...

How tall are you and what size did you take?

[Igital96]

I am 1.76m - 78cm inseam and I got an M.

[Chromikson]

I'm 187cm -87 cm inseam and I order L.

So what's your thought on resonable max. tire width?

I am 1.76m - 78cm inseam and I got an M.

I'm 1.75m tall with an inseam of 79cm, and I chose size S

I think it's going to be small for you. The reach is not that long as the FM326. Have you tried it already or still waiting for delivery?

I wouldn't do more than 47-48. I am getting a new G-ONE RS 45mm. I am keeping the 50mm at the front. I have 30mm internal width wheels. If any of you have wide rims, be careful.

I understand your concern, but based on the geometry I think size S (52) fits me better.
The jump to size M (54) adds around 20,5mm of stack, which is quite significant. I'm currently riding a LightCarbon LCR018-D in size 52 with only 5mm of spacers and it fits me well.
My saddle height is 69cm, so I don't need the extra stack. Also, the top tube on size M is noticeably longer, which would make the position too stretched for my preference.
With a 100mm stem, the S keeps the position more balanced and avoids being too stretched or too high in the front.
So for my setup, S makes more sense.

@Igital96: How where the first rides? What's your overall impression, left aside the 47mm tire max.?

I see! Perfect then! You really got it dialed

I did a 10km ride just to test ride it and on pavement because I am waiting for my 45mm tire to arrive. It felt very good. Planted and solid. I come from a Bianchi Zolder Pro (cyclo-cross bike) and it's completely different. The other one was twitchy and had a very reactive ride. This is the opposite. Longer, lower, predictable and more comfortable. Still finding my preferred stack height so I can cut the steering tube again.

Would the FRONT fit 2.1s?
