Whose frame is this? I accidentally received the movie from Jack. For a moment, he wrote that it was mine, but the colors weren't the same. I had a moment of stress that there had been some communication/arrangement error.Luckily, the matter was quickly resolved😅

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

I am 180cm with 83 inseam. And I suggested to order also in M. But as I saw the mount of spacer in the front I maybe would better take the L frame and only 80mm stem. What are you guys thinking about my concerns?

That amount of spacers were there because it was the first time I cut the fork. I wanted to make sure I could install all of them if needed. I will cut it again and lower the front end. I think an L for you would be better. The size of this frame is very similar to western brands.

Looking at picking one of these up but it's not entirely clear what the chain set clearance is for a 2x Shimano setup.

Has anyone got experience running a 2x Shimano road or GRX chain set with an FM336

Received my FM286 today.  Took about 3 weeks to arrive to the UK.  Initial inspection, it looks pretty damn amazing for the price.  Box was intact and frame was padded well.  Paint looks great, kinda wish I did something a little more exciting but still very pleased.  All the brake mounts appear to be properly faced.

If all goes well, I may have it built up and on the road this weekend.

I am planning to mount a 1x13 from SRAM and an "aero" chainring from Garbaruk or Gemini. Any idea about the wide vs non wide DUB system? How many spacers and how thick?

Thanks!

Post some pics! I’m not sure that I’ve seen an FM286 on here.

Take a look at the trek website and their recommendations for checkmate slr. Both frames have identical geometry.

I am running dub wide. 2.5mm spacer outer left side - 5.5mm spacer outer right side (drive side). I got dub wide because there were barely stock of sram rival xplr or force xplr.

I ordered a ztto bottom bracket and there are two spacers, one for MTB and the other for road

I fitted that bottom bracket with SRAM DUB (non-wide) Force AXS set and ROAD spacer on the right side. It resulted in crank arms having a 5mm difference between arm and seattube/bottom tube. I fitted MTB spacer on the right side (nothing on the left and no ROAD spacer as well) and it's almost centered.

Put some protection in the rear chainstays and sent it for a bit. Liking the ride so far.

I am planning to buy the same handlebar from Lexon. Is it the LEXON UNOX gravel model? Did you have to buy specific spacers for this frame?

Just for your info, Jack has offered me to pay through SEPA instead of SWIFT. I can save some dollars there (around 40$). Any experience with that?

My plan is to mount thefollowing for the groupset:

SRAM bottom bracket DUB T47, 85.5mm (Herstellenummer: 00.6418.033.000)
SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 13-fach Schaltwerk 10-46T RD-FRC-1E-D2 (Herstellenummer: 00.7518.193.000)
Sram Force Kurbelarm E1 DUB 165mm (Herstellenummer: 00.6118.746.001)
SRAM XG‑1371 Cassette 13-speed 10-46 (Herstellenummer: 00.2418.160.000)

Do you guys see any objection not to mount the 1x13 from SRAM? I am not sure actually if i will have to rder the WIDE version of the same BB or not

I payed for my frame to a German bank account Mondince has, no problem with that. A few days after I made the money order Jack informed me about the limited tire clearance and offered a few solutions, one was he refunds me the purchase price. So far, IMHO, Mondince seems to be a very trustworthy company. Frame is on it's way.
GRX DI2 2x12 group set is on the shelf waiting. Need to order spokes to laceyy 49mm rims IW 32mm from TimeTec ;-)

Yeah I would agree that they are pretty trustworthy. I mean they have the trust of Cube, State, and Argon 18. It’s not like they are some random no name Chinese manufacturer.
