Why is there no fm356 on the website yet?

2
looks like new open wide 2.0 https://opencycle.com/wide-20

Do we know if it's the same? I mean with the handlebar offset options and fork with holes? Also standard question - what is the price?

3
Do they come with a rim tape, if not, do you recommend one for tubeless setup?

I like the wide availability of length and width of the integrated handlebars.

Did anyone stumble upon some adapter from Garmin/Wahoo to Lezyne X-lock (mega XL gps for example).
I've purchased a frameset with an integrated handlebar and Lezyne does not sell any mounting systems for such things. What is availabe is either O-ring (which is the last resort) or the forward mount, but that works with conventional stem only.

I am almost decided on the frameset. How does the frame feel on flats? How would you describe it in comparison with the more aero frames? Does it feel slower at 35-40 kph speeds?

Looks very nice, but the pricing of the frameset is definitely out of my budget though. Ican FL1 places at 600-700 USD, while avenger is 1800.

What is the name of the tool that is used to tighten the easton spider to the crank arm? Is it  Park Tool BBT-22?
Is the instruction for Leese the same as 
The instructions that come with these cranks are pretty poor.

Cybrei’s instructions, on the other hand, are excellent. They advise using vernier calipers to measure your bottom bracket shell width, provide a detailed list of bottom bracket standards, and show the corresponding spacers or shims required. Since many of these cranks look very similar, clear and specific instructions like these are really helpful — and they’re readily available on the Cybrei website in English. The attached Cybrei PDF in Chinese has the BB spacing table.

How did you come across this provider? Never heard of them.

I was literally googling around, and this website was never visited by me and here we are ;D

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Mondince FM116
« on: July 09, 2025, 09:44:47 AM »
Hello,

Searching through the web, I stumbled upon the Mondince website and 2026 FM116 model specifically. It has:
  • FULLY INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
  • T47/UDH
  • 31.6MM CLAMP
  • 27.2MM SEATPOST
  • 850 (+-30)g weight for 54 size
  • 32mm tire clearance

Do you have any knowledge or experience with that company? The specs look very nice for an all rounder bike, I haven't asked for a quote yet, and am still looking for some lightweight climbing frameset like Ican FL1, that would be very versatile and easy to maintain. Im still not sure if they make direct to consumer sales though, but someone mentioned a gravel frameset on this forum that was linked to mondincecycle.
What are your thoughts on this FM116 frame?

Hi, I’d like to revive the topic of lightweight climbing framesets. Are there any new with round seatpost, at least 32mm clearance, disc brakes and sub 800g? I could not finding anything better than ICAN FL1 so far  for its price). Cheers!

I've also been lurking around for quite some time and am leaning towards sp-cycle. It has very simillar geometry to my allez sprint from 2017 and I wanted to try wireless shifting and to have a disc brake bike too. For me the only thing that's keeping me back is the paint, because I got used to admiring colourful patterns on other allez sprints and spcycle seem to be quite limited. Do you know if there is a gallery how each aliexpress-available coulour looks like on the bike itself? Or have you tried with custom painting of this frame?

Could  always do two frames for comparison 😂

As a man of science, I also think that 2 frames is the go to not only check for they layups, but also reproducibility. At least to some extent.
