Makes total sense, and like you said, to each their own. I’m hoping one of these Chinese companies eventually gets organized and creates a catalog that’s clearly designed around the different types of riders. For example, have a low-stack, long-reach “aggressive” frame and market it as exactly that, then offer a high-stack “all-day ride/bikepacking” frame, and maybe a third option positioned as an “endurance” bike for long weekend rides. Right now, the nuanced geometry differences and the constant release of multiple, very similar frames just make the buying process more confusing than it needs to be, at least in my opinion.....BTW nice stable.....

The bigger issue for me is the height. A ridiculous amount of stack. Unusable for me.
To each their own, but I’d be surprised if even 5% of the people on this forum are actually looking for a really low-stack bike. I’m not even sure what a low stack is all that beneficial for anymore. It used to be considered the more aero option, but that doesn’t seem to be the case these days. Just look at modern TT bikes. A lot of them have 100+ mm of spacers under the aero bars because that’s where riders are finding the best mix of comfort, power, and aerodynamics. Looking through the FM336 build thread, it also seems like a lot of people are running quite a few spacers under the stem anyway. To me, that says many riders are trying to get to a taller front end regardless. This frame clears 61 mm tires, which is 2.4 inches. This bike was designed for adventure riding and long days in the saddle, not an ultra-aggressive race position. Personally, I like that they gave it a taller stack. It lets more people get the fit they want without stacking a bunch of spacers under the stem, and I think it ends up looking cleaner too. I’d actually love to see more bikes go in this direction because I think they match how most people really ride.

It looks like the storage box is the older style used on mondince 326. It seemed like it could be problematic opposed to the newer style that uses the magnets…

Yup, I heard the same…$605usd and 30 days lead time

It seems like they are open to suggestions, what is the perfect geometry?

I just heard from Jack that they are changing the geo. He is going to send me the chart as soon as it is available and I’ll post.

Here is a video

Hot off the presses

Jack just sent me the latest geo for this frame. See below.

Jack does it again. They are cranking out new designs. He just sent me a video of their new aero gravel frame with 57mm of tire clearance. He said it will be available in 10 days and is going to send me the geo a little later. When he does, I'll post it.

Jack just sent me some videos of the frame. Looks good. I like the top tube under mounts.

I just got pricing. Frame, fork, headseat, seat tube, storage bag, and axles are $580. Shipping to the US is $180, including tariffs. Custom paint is $80.

Thank you for the info! It would be cool if you post here the pics of the frameset when you get it. What was the price for the frameset? When you will get it approximately? Sorry for too many questions😁
For sure, it should be here in 30 days + - (we all know how that goes). Ill def post pics. The price is USD625 for FM356, which includes frame, fork, seatpost, axles, headset, and bag. Shipping is 180 with prepaid tariffs and 80 for custom paint.
