Mondince FM376 - 57mm tire clearance

[frewster]

Did Light Cycling say they will paint the frame storage cover? I'm curious because my Mondince FM336 came with it painted, but I've seen some reports that Mondince won't paint it for this frame due to warpage issues. Looking forward to seeing how your paint job comes out.

They will paint the storage cover. They told me they're used to painting those and only a 2 warped on what they painted. Hope this is true and not some BS just to sell the frame but we'll see.

I just happenend to look at the FARA GR4 the other day and the geometry of that bike looked very familiar. I assume this bike was the model for the FM376.


Jack send a video of my frame. Painting took a couple of days longer, but is ready to ship now.
Without the rivets, its much nicer and cleaner i think.

Nice looking frame! UD raw carbon glossy finish, right?

While narrowing down choices for my new bike this popped up and took 1st spot immediately.

Couple of question to the crowd here before I talk to them directly:
- 2x compatible?
- if yes: max tires?
- Handelbar offerings from Mondince? (Didn't find specs neither on their site nor here.)
- Frame storage bag included?
- Do we need the screws on the fork nowadays with all the bag options we have? Would order XL, so frame bags are no problem at all.
- How wide are the chainstays? Afraid of touching them with my heel as I wear 46 to 47 (EU) // 12 to 13 (US). Any experience by other big foots?

Thankful for input.

Correct. I don't like the empty downtube, so need to think about a name and logo for it.

I just ordered this frame as well - good and fast communication with Mondince. Should be finished in 18 days and shipped. I come from the Velobuild Aero Grav and are looking for a frame with higher stack and internal storage and this frame fits those two so I'm very excited to test it out. I ordered glossy silver to UD carbon fade paint (top to bottom) similar to the SEKA Spear RDC frame.

What are you planning for the handlebars? I'm looking at the Lexon Unox gravel handlebar but still undecided.

I'm waiting for my frame but three days ago I received my first component for my build. Also Lexon Unox
Feels very good and polished. Also nice mount included.

Yes, I agree, although the frame is beautiful in that finish, even a minimalist logo/branding gives it a more balnaced look. Which size is it, btw?

[eins4eins]

Size M

I need less stack and will probably run a separate bar and stem with -12 or -17°. Unfortunately Jack couldn't give details of the headset or dimensions, so need to wait until the frame is here, to figure out what fits.

I'm currently deciding between this frame or the Meinier gravel 57mm at AliExpress (SPCycle G028), and maybe also the new FM366 aero gravel frame. But before I make a final decision, I need to see complete bike builds of these Mondince FM376 and FM366 frames! So, I'll be watching this topic, waiting for pictures of your finished bike...

Is UD raw glossy less robust than the painted uni-color?

I ordered the dark green color xl frame. I chose to have the default Mondince logo on the downtube and headtube. I prefer a logo to unbranded look. Can someone  post a pic of the headtube from the front I'm wondering how narrow it is.

Do you have a picture of a bike with the "default Mondince logo on the downtube and headtube"? Wondering how this looks. I also prefer logos to no logos.

UD raw is also clear coated. Doesn't make a difference.
