Mondince FM376 - 57mm tire clearance

[maxpet]

What I would do is go for a partial refund and put some nice looking aluminum bolts in there with a color that matches your bild, weighs hardly anything

Had you already paid for the frame? How was the repayment process handled?

Yes, I did a full payment directly to their German bank account on 12th of August, not via paypal. Got a full refund within 5 min after I canceled the order. Payment-refund process was handled perfectly, I have no complaints about it.
I'm sure that frame had already been sent to someone else, so no loss to Mondince. For me it's also just a month of wasted time.

That's very reassuring, even tho you weren't satisfied with the frame. I have a hard time believing other chinese manufacturers would honor that. Kudos to Mondince.

I was also wondering whether the fork becomes lighter if the rivets are omitted.

There's extra carbon where they would drill the holes. Drilling removes some carbon (removing weight), the rivets add some weight, it's probably a wash, more or less.

They have a German bank account? That's wild to me. (And as a German, somewhat reassuring, not sure why)

Frame is here. Everything looking fine. Bottom bracket screwed in super smooth, seatpost and storage cover fit snug and tight, frame looks clean on the inside.
All parts included. Didn't weigh anything because is really don't care.
Without any stickers, its looks boing. So i made some graphics. Gonna call it WYDE.

The pathfinder tires measure 56,5-57mm and have huge clearance. Threw in the 61mm mtb wheels and they would probably fit as well.

If someone in Europe is interested in this frame, i'm willing to sell it. Immediate availability.
I just put in an order for another bike and probably won't build up the FM376 anymore.

Looks great! Also the not painted cover quite looks good in combination with that color!
Guess this is size 'L' ? Do you think using a 500 / 750 ml bottle in the upper bottlecage would fit if you for example mount a half size framebag?
I like the upper bottlecage is just above the mounting system of the lid of the gearbox. Good to hear that the fit is snug.

Enjoy riding!

Looking good. I'm planning to run the same tires, I'll probably go with black ones though. On what internal width they measure 57mm? Mondince just posted a video of same looking frame on youtube it was probably yours.

My frame got delayed too will have to wait a bit longer.

Its a MEDIUM size frame. A big bottle will at least touch a framebag in this size i assume. The downtube cage rives are higher than on other frames.

I asked Mondince to post a video of FM376 with a logo and they did, I think it looks pretty good but the logo is a bit small. Still prefer it to no logo.

Good then, i ordered an L so i figure there is a little more space for bigger bottles.
So you're selling; why the stickers then? Probably better to let a new rider customize the frame themselves?

is this raw carbon glossy finish? i might be interested!

i had another look and its possible to turn the storage cover 180°. That allows moving down the bottle cage 2-3cm and will give more room.

Stickers can easily be removed and i wanted at least to see what i could look like.

Looks great, but I would need L. What other frame did you order ?

I built the FM376 up today, as a friend will take it.
- Rear brake hose took forever to get through the chain stay. Something was blocking it.
- Rear brake mount needed facing.
- Lower headset bearing needs a cone spacer (that comes with the frame). The bearing sits too deep in the frame for a standard height bearing for whatever reason?!

[bliblablub]

what type of headset is it then? acr compatible?
