Mondince FM376 - 57mm tire clearance

[FlorianS]

The geometry is almost identical to the Spcycle G028, but the details of the shape are slightly different. I think there is no reason to choose the G028 now that the FM376 exists, with much better QC and overall quality. Unfortunately, it’s too late for me, as I’ve already ordered the G028   

Isn't the FM346 almost identical to the SpCycle G028? Yes, the downtube is more aero-shaped on the FM346, but other than that, it seems very similar? Why didn't you go for the FM346, if you dislike SpCycle?

Edit: Looks similar, but the FM376 is much closer geometry-wise to the SPCycle G028, than the FM346 was.

Thanks! that makes sense then.

Pulled the trigger today on a size L , good communications with Jack. Lead time should be around 16 days.

What size did you order, what paintjob did you choose and what did you pay in the end?

I like the parameters of the frame quite a bit. No major issues, geometry is spot on.
What are the handlebar options from Mondince as I can't find anything about handlebars on their site?

I'll try the Lexon Unox 400mm first. If i need more stack the Tavelo Avro/Avro Rise could be a nice option.

Jack send a mail noticing me that they can't paint the storage cover, as it would warp.

Also told me my frame is probably only gonna be painted next week. After telling me its in stock and ready to paint for next day, before purchasing, thats pretty lame...

Jack also contacted me about this yesterday. Quite lame indeed. In all the promo vids and pictures the cover has the same color as the paint on the frame. Would you risk it to paint the cover anyway and 'mod' the lid or frame entry so that the cover does close well? .. I think I don't. I'm lucky I picked a very very dark blue color for the frame. So I think it will match not that bad with a matt black cover.

But I think this is good information for other people who are considering the frame

How much did you guys pay for the frame and shipping?

I was in contact with light cycling and he told me:

580$ Frame, seatpost, fork etc. (no handlebar as i dont like the options they have)
150$ for shipping, duties etc. (Germany)
100$ Paintjob (transparent red and some silver logos)

This looks very good. I wanted to get the xmcs grt but I get no answer them from any questions. The spcycle / meinier would felt like a compromise with much longer chain stay and bad quality.

The FM376 looks like the sweet spot. I talked with Jack it should be 710€ shipped to Finland. He is very quick to answer. Please post some pics and weights when you receive your frames.

Turns out Mondince/Jack is no different to the other unreliable sellers. Infos and confirmations he's giving are useless and you can't believe his word.
I asked about lead time three times before ordering and he told me the frame is in stock and ready to be painted next day. Two weeks later, frame isn't painted and now he tells me it needs more extra time.

This was my experience as well, sadly..

Just forget you've ordered the frame and chill. That's what I'm doing. It's not like you're buying a $3k Specialized frameset from an authorized dealer. I'm sure Jack, or whatever his true name is, will eventually get back to you with the video of your freshly painted frame.

Just ordered this from lightcycling ! Was debating between this one and the XMCS GRT but in the end, paintjob was really important to me so decided to go this way.

Went with a custom paintjob from their lazer seires but with purple instead of the blue. Really excited to see how it turns out !

Total Price was 960$, 580$ for frame, fork, seatpost, heaset, and internal storage bag, 230$ for paint, 150$ shipping.

Almost have all part already has it's almost a frame swap.
