Thanks, size is S.

Thanks.

This is a Toseek handlebar.

Initially, I had some doubts due to its low price but when it arrived I inspected it and couldn't find anything alarming. It is well made, doesn't flex, looks solid.

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.

The frame uses standard 52mm outer diameter headset bearings, so you can choose from a variety of options like Lexon, Toseek, and many more.

As an example, the Toseek integrated handlebar:

Has anyone ordered wheels from their Aliexpress store recently?
I ordered a set of AR XRLP wheels a week ago, and the order details say "The order will be shipped in 24 days." and the estimated delivery date is February 17, 2026.
Are these estimates accurate?

120mm stem paired with 70.5 SA is a bit of a compromise and will need some time getting used to.

I made a typo in my previous post. I went with 110mm stem, not 120mm.
Also FM316 with 395MM A-C fork has 71 deg headtuve angle according to Mondince geo chart.

that should be an interesting ride, as the geometry is almost a canyon grail +-5mm and they use a 70mm stem on a S frame.

And I thought I was being conservative when choosing the size  ;D My road bike is 2cm lower and longer.
It should be ok, and if not, I can always adjust the position (except for the cut steerer tube)

Which size did you go with? I’m 176 with 81 inseam - so I pretty close to order a 316 in medium with Jack in raw carbon look

I ordered an S and went with a 120mm stem. I think the M might be too tall.
I wanted a sportier riding position, but the M paired with a shorter stem should also work if you want a more upright position.

I don't know why Mondince recommends a separate stem and handlebar. Today I shortened the steerer tube and ran the brake lines through the frame and handlebar. I didn't encounter any problems.

That's CJ's bike. He presented it on this forum in Mondince topic. The color is PANTONE 7536 C.

I couldn't reach it with my fingers but improvised and created this tool. Some sandpaper glued to the tip of a thin screwdriver. This allowed me to get to the problematic spot and remove enough glue that the wedge now fits. Problem solved.

Other than that, frame looks ok. The bottom bracket screws in easily, without any issues. The headset and fork assembles well, with no significant gaps.
I'm starting to assemble it, but to finish it I still need the wheels, which I only ordered 3 days ago.

Yikes, that is unfortunate. Hopefully they will make it right.

They said it's not a resin but a glue and asked me to try to remove it with a knife...

where did you ordered it?
I made the PO to Mondince on November 7 and seems I still need to wait 1-2weeks more until arrival to Spain…

I ordered by WhatsApp

Received my frame today.
I ordered on November 10, 2025, so shipping to Poland took less than 4 weeks.



EDIT:
After a closer look, I must unfortunately say that the quality control is very poor.
I can’t assemble seatpost wedge. It doesn’t fit because there is a large lump of resin where wedge should enter.

Handlebar is from Fara norway

That's definitely a different handlebar

I'm planning to buy two Mondice/Spcycle FM326 frames:
one for myself (190 cm) and one for my wife (185 cm).
I'm completely unsure about the sizing because the reach on the FM326 is much longer than on our current Scott Addict RC (L and XL). The difference in frame length is huge.

Did you consider seat tube angle?
Yes, FM326 looks long when you are looking at the reach value. But it has 75 degrees seat tube angle. 1,4 deg more than Addict RC. Sounds like not much? I wouldn't say so.
For my 174cm and ~715mm BB to saddle top distance a difference of 1,4 degrees will move a saddle ~17 mm forward which in my opinion isn't insignificant.
