I get that these are cheap frames, but if you as a vendor can't keep your word and struggle to manage all the different orders, then just don't promise things and say it will be perfect. It's better to say "no, we can't" or "we won't". It's as simple as that.


I think this has to do with cultural differences. In Northern Europe, the principle of "a deal is a deal" is often taken quite seriously. In Southern Europe, this can be somewhat less strict. In China, people generally do not like to say "no" directly either.
I was also wondering whether the fork becomes lighter if the rivets are omitted.

This is definitely a pretty substantial frame. I initially planned to go for the XCMS GRT, but in the end I find it simply too expensive. Building it up myself would bring the total cost close to something like a Canyon Grizl — and that one will likely hold its value much better.In terms of weight, there’s barely any difference compared to the GRT, and the feedback on Mondiance’s build quality seems solid. The only downside for me is the slightly longer chainstays; I would have preferred 425 mm.

I’m leaning toward ordering this frame soon as the replacement for my Trek Checkpoint SL Gen 2.

I like the frame much, but I don't like that you have too buy a aftermarket pouch.

Feels like it's not complete.

Does anybody know if there is some frame protection on the down tube of the frame, and is it possible to mount an additional bottle cage there

Here also 120mm or 130 stem for a xl frame  ::)

Frame looks great.

I only don't understand that the bolts of the stem/handlebar aren't black. It looks cheap.

In in the race too buy this one form me trek checkpoint sl v2 (2024).

Anyone have this integrated handlebar on his gravelbike. Hope it is not to stiff/harsh.

I wan't to use it with GRX 822 (1x12). Is it possible to fully integrate the cable for the shifter?
