Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel
Mine arrived today. Initial impressions are generally good. Brake mounts appear clean and flat, the headset mounted snuggly with minimal gaps, and the bottom bracket went in smoothly by hand. The internal surfaces appear to be smooth and clean. The only slight disappointment is the masking on the accessory mounts but I intend to replace the bolts with rubber bungs so hopefully it'll be covered. November 27, 2025, 01:19:16 PM |

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel
Are you still happy with your 316? I'm in dialog with Jack, but with I'm getting a bit second thoughts. I'm totally in love with this frame ✅ Has the progressive geo I'm looking for ✅ Aesthetically pleasing (see Reddit comments) ✅ Rides like a compliant road bike ✅ Abundant tire clearance (although I'd like to test in peanut butter mud) ✅ Excellent fit and finish, especially the paint ✅ Distinctive look, I get compliments/questions from fellow riders ✅ Yes open mold...but they did it right, offer flip chip, and QC has been good IMO (yes things happen) ✅ No logos or branding (this *was* important to me at the time of purchase but now I trust this company enough to sport their logo) ✅ Cost-effective... I won't fret if something catastrophic happens, there's no need to spend thousands on a frame these days, IMO ✅ Mondince has been nothing short of superb in their communication/support And moving over from non-UDH, it was a no brainer. I look forward to each ride and really looking forward to the 2026 racing season. But everyone has their own "Why..." My issue w/ the storage cover is a minor hiccup in comparison December 10, 2025, 05:05:11 PM |

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel
Ordered my 326 at the beginning of this week, what are good handlebar and carbon wheel brands? I'm 183cm ordered a size M any recommendations on stem length or is a handlebar with stem unit a better option? Looking to go for 45mm tires and SRAM Force XPLR AXS 1x13 trying to get everything ready by the start of March. Regards Cedric December 12, 2025, 07:56:22 AM |

Looks fantastic! Yes, crystal effect. In my case, from payment to video it took 15 days. December 20, 2025, 01:43:30 AM |

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel
Just placed an order for an FM326 (size M). Pantone 7484 C with added pearl. Super excited! Building up with XM Carbonspeeds new 32.5mm wide gravel rims w/ their silver hubs and titanium spokes and Sram Force XPLR E1.

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel
Hi you all, I am also interested in this along with the depth of the cup as that will also be needed for a good fit. Finding a fully integrated stem that isn't a boat anchor and 200 dollars is proving a challenge. December 22, 2025, 08:36:23 AM |

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel
I had a hard time deciding between the FM316 and the 326 so I just ordered both forks with the frame. It was 75USD extra. Also ordered the 316 fork without bolt mounts. Swapping forks will be an adventure with the routing but oh well. Tried to get an Satin finish but they seemed confused on how to handle that so went with 7589 C Pantone with pearl and a gloss finish. ![]() December 22, 2025, 02:11:28 PM |
