Re: New Adapt Aero-Allrounder Build finished!

Here’s the list of parts:

Frame: of course Adapt DP-B02
Handlebars: DP-H01 which is also supplied by Adapt
Groupset: Shimano 105 di2 which came from my Yoshun r086D
Cassette: ztto 10-33
Chainring: pass quest 48-35
Wheelset: 206db rsl50c from my r086d

Can possibly still be lighter with carbon crankset or higher tier groupset. I am also planning on changing the wheels to something lighter. Maybe from xcms, serenade, pertual or whichever has good value. Will try to ride tomorrow if weather is good.

Re: Mondince new 2026 Aero Gravel My Tagoola XPLR wheels finally arrived yesterday, and I finished assembling the bike today. As pictured (with bottle cages, pedals, and Garmin mount), it weighs 8.4 kg.

I haven't ridden it yet, but I can't wait to try it out.

Anyone here with the bike who wouldnt mind sharing their long term experiences with the bike?

I have my bike for over a year now and about 8000km. The bike is excellent with a couple of caveats. I've built a lot of chinese frames at this point (2 velobuilds, lightcarbon, spcycle) a this one is above all of them by a huge margin in terms of quality but it's a bit more expensive as well. Ive never owned any of the premium chinese frames so don't really know how it would compare.
some minor problems I've had are clear coat overspray in the headset that i had to clean up and a creaky seatpost. I haven't solved the seatpost problem completely and it keeps coming back. My saddle is set up almost as high as it can go so there's quite a bit of leverage that is contributing to creaking.
Not a huge fan of the handlebar too. Finish quality is fantastic but it's a little heavy in my opinion and a shape does not work for me: drops are too round and I can't find a comfy hand position, also not a fan of a short reach.
I switched from a super comfy endurance bike so the frameset felt quite harsh initially and I could not find a saddle that would work with this geo but this problem was solved since.

TL;DR
Frame is great. would buy again but without a cockpit

I kind of agree with you most here - but as i said earlier, dont make the frame reach to long for each size, its easier adding longer stream/handlebars rather than going shorter. Many bikes goes far to long, which limits possible users. I would say in that case here - look at 3T with RaceMax2 Italia, they kind of nailed it there.

We’re finetuning a few very small things, so there won’t be any real geo changes.

I get everyone is trying to exercise some influence on geo snd features, but you’ll simply have to wait a week or so and you’ll get the bike XMCS wanted to design, taking into account many different perspectives. Just as an example, another guy asked to make sure the bike was long and low because ‘otherwise it wouldn’t be a success’.

We get bombed with opinions, and they are often 180 degrees apart.

As for the 3t, it has a STR of 1.53 in size L (eTT of 552) which is on the very extreme end for aero gravel bikes. The STR range for these sizes are from 1.40 (Astr, Able, Noah) to about 1.48 (ExAero, Rave). In the comparable size the xmcs will just be a bit below the average.

I’ll shut my mouth here and will ask you all to simply wait a little bit longer and then decide if this is the bike for you or not.
