I feel like a bumbling idiot when trying to understand geometry, but the reach on this frame seems very long to me. Am I wrong?
Pretty sure it's the Mondince Aero gravel, take a look at that thread:-)

I'm more of price weenie than a weight weenie, so I only look at bargain component threads! ;D
Yes, it the same geo as Mondince FM326:

It is if you assume it's designed to run with road length stems. Reduce the stem length to quicken the steering as the head angle is fairly slack for a Chinese gravel bike and it doesn't seem so extreme.

It's less expensive through Mondince vs Spycle
It's significantly cheaper through AliExpress at the moment with coupons etc than I paid from Mondince. Inc UK shipping it's £400 vs £550. I'm half tempted to get one for my wife.
But as far as I can see they only offer the long forked version :-(

Lol, Mondince told me £368 you got ripped off.
The SPcycle is more expensive for me by far, Spcycle are just resellers after all.
Same open mold as Mondince FM316/326 but lacks the flip chip in the fork

Was that painted inc customs and shipping etc?
Does anyone have experience with this frame? I'm so close to pulling the trigger on the Black Friday deal.

Same frame. Two fork options

After the R088, I pulled the trigger on this one as well.
If you have any questions, just let me know. The build will take some time, I am not in a rush.
