I don't know why, but that bike seems really awkward, strange looking, maybe due to the frame geo to be able to fit those 2.4 tires...

That looks like a size S, might look better on a bigger frame.

I like the look

Agree, will look even better with less spacers and with those stack numbers could even run it slammed. Position would still be more comfortable than many frames on the market.

Asked Jack about the size of the frame and size of tires. He wrote that the size is M and tires are 29x2,4.

Sort reach and high stack. It appears to be a bike packing/touring bike. Mount points all over it. Not a gravel racer.
As they list it;

I think mondice says the 356 is a adventure/bikepacking frame. I would even classify the 346 as a relaxed frame .

I’ve just got tire and crank clearance photos from TanTan factory account on Instagram.

Asked Tantan and Mondince about the price for frameset, custom paint and shipping.

Answer from TanTan:

699usd/set . include paint
frame+fork+seatpost+headset+spacers+handlebar
EMS shipping fee 79usd

778 usd total

Answer from Mondince:

The shipping cost is USD280 by fast shipping,  slow shipping is usd120 with 50 days.
The cost is USD625 per set,  and USD100 for custom painting.
Incuding frame,  fork,  seatpost,  axles,  headset,  bag,  painting cost.

1005 usd or 845 usd total

Offer from TanTan is more interesting from my point of view.

I’ve been comparing the specs again, and the only difference I can see is the weight (beside really small geo differences according to the tables). The Mondince frame is listed at ~1100g, while the TanTan comes in at ~1300g. That’s a pretty big gap for what seems to be the same mold.

Which fork version would you pick (1 - regular; 2 - luggage)? Are there compatible luggage packs available?

I’d like to try the #2 luggage fork but I don’t think that I will really need it😁

I think Mondince weight is raw ( without paint )
And Tan Tan is painted.

So with tan tan you get handlebars also..
That's interesting

Jack told me that they now have size L in stock. I have just placed my order. I will report back once the frame arrives. I paid €767 including shipping for the frame, custom paint job, fork without strap holes, zero offset seat post, axles, headset and bag.

Is the shipping with tax included?
