Mondince FM376 - 57mm tire clearance

[sbixify]

I just received a video of my frame ready from the paint shop. It looks exactly as I specified, so I'm really happy with the paint job based on the video. Should be shipped in three days time. I already received my decals (my own interpretation of the Mondince logo), so it should turn out pretty nice!

I spot a Rpantahi cockpit – nice! Looks like they changed the finish to be more in line with other "matte black" colors for parts. They had a more grey-ish finish before, more like the ultegra-Crankset gray.

Well spotted! I actually picked this one up off Marketplace, unfortunately it is for an oversized Giant OD2 steerer so that will hold up the build unless the seller can track down the shim it came with. I do agree the finish on the bars is really nice, I'm hoping I'll still be able to use them.

And I saw a CSC wheelset. Could you tell some datas? I`m looking for CSC as well, but don´t find the right wheels until now.

I'll try and link the wheels I ordered below. They are 50mm deep, 32mm internal and 41mm internal width. Initial impressions are really good given they cost me ~$400 USD shipped. I've read a few reports of the bearings or ratchets in the hub breaking, only time will tell I guess.

Yes, UD glossy. Incl DPD shipping, the price was 720USD.

Built it to see what it looks like and i thinks its a very nice machine.
A friend will eventually buy it, once my new bike is here.

What crankset is that? Did you end up with a Sram Wide or is that just their road crank?

Technically the bike requires the wide crank with the longer spindle, but in my bike is a standard road crank i made work by modifying the preload adjuster to allow another spacer on the drive side to move the crank another 2mm outwards.
Wouldn't recommend that though, its a very tight fit.

Received my FM376 yesterday and built it up.
Great quality, happy with how it rides too.
I reused a merida cockpit off my old bike and had to reuse the 7mm bearings also (frame was supplied with 8mm ones).
Plenty of clearance even with a front derailleur, currently running 50mm but could prob squeeze 55 in the back with the f mech.

Awesome color, awesome background.

Have you weighed the frame and the fork separately?

Cheers!

Sorry no I was in too much of a rush to build it up

You're running GRX825 with the larger chainrings (48/31)? Total weight of the bike?

Looking great. What color is that?

Thanks! It's the purple chameleon colour.

Yes that's correct, 48/31. I'm also running a 4iiii left crank power meter, so there is enough space for that if anyone is wondering.

I haven't weighed the bike yet either, I will try and remember to check it next week. My guess is around 9.5kg, as the build kit was on a previous bike at around 9, but that was with smaller 40mm tyres and a more of a road bike frame.

Hey the wheelset looks very nice, can you tell me what brand that is?

Kind regards

they are BTLOS WRMC54 rims with their gravel hubs and cx ray spokes.

I've had multiple delays with my order too and they refunded a small amount because of it. At the moment it looks like it will be shipped 35 days after ordering instead of the promised 18.

I think it's a beautiful frame. The only real miss, in my opinion, is how high the bottle cage sits.With the mount placed that high, it's almost impossible to fit a frame bag properly.

If the change this than this would be my new frame.

That is exactly what I was thinking after I saw the first builds. Still not sure to pull the trigger.
