Very nice, reminds a bit of the Colnago color pattern.
FWIW, on tires: I tried the Schwalbe RX Pro (in 50mm) for the FM326 and they have been a blast so far.
They have been on the bike since January, so they have seen everything from snow to deep mud and now the dried out paths.
I am riding them with about 1.7 bar in a tubeless setup, no puncture so far and no slipping.

If that's too "offrad" for you, the R PRO is potentially a fit: https://www.schwalbe.com/en/Schwalbe-G-One-R-PRO-11654240.01

I'm running both. G-One RX 50 mm at the front and R 50 mm at the rear. I'm very happy with them so far. I use a bit less pressure, around 1.4 bar. They roll very well and with good grip.

Thanks for the input guys, these were actually the exact tires I had in mind for my next upgrade. I’m thinking about running a G-One R Pro 50 mm at the front and a semi-slick RS Pro 50 mm at the rear for minimum rolling resistance & maximum speed.

Hopefully that setup will finally solve the grip issue while still keeping the bike fast rolling!

Received my FM316 frameset around two weeks ago, and the whole ordering process was an absolute breeze thanks to Jack’s incredible support and responsiveness.

Took me about two days to fully build the bike and start riding it – already knocked out roughly 700 km so far!

Full build cost was around €2800 (±$3.3K), excluding pedals which I already owned.

Weight is around 8.6 kg including pedals, bottle cages, and the Garmin mount, which I think is pretty solid considering the cockpit isn’t integrated and the Deda Vinci stem is actually quite heavy (~350g with the Garmin mount adapter).

Frame color is black pearl / white pearl with a gloss finish, and I’m honestly really impressed with how it looks in person. The only minor downside so far is the quality of the stock bolts, which isn’t amazing. I already ordered a full set of Ti bolts from Wanyifa that should arrive later this week.

This is my second bike alongside an S-Works SL8 (size 54). Stack and reach are surprisingly close between both bikes, and the handling feels very similar as well, so adaptation was pretty much immediate.

A few people I ride with asked me why I went with GRX mechanical instead of Di2 or SRAM Force. I was actually inspired by Zach Calton, a US pro mountain/gravel racer, who praised the GRX 12-speed mechanical groupset quite a lot. According to him, shifting performance is flawless, the setup is lighter than GRX Di2, and the clutch mechanism does a really good job at limiting chain and derailleur vibrations on rough terrain – all of that at a fraction of the GRX Di2 price.

I fully integrated the shifting cables through the stem and handlebar, and honestly the shifting performance has been excellent. It's reliable and nearly as fast as an electronic groupset. Considering the price point, I’m extremely happy with it.

So far the only part I’m a bit unsure about are the Pathfinder 45s – they feel a bit slippery on Cat 1 gravel and especially sketchy once the ground gets wet. Might swap them sooner than expected.

Will share more updates after a few longer rides!

already received the info: it is possible without rivets!

I just ordered and paid, ETA around beginning to mid June.

Awesome! I’ll follow this thread since the geo perfectly matches what I’m looking for. Let us know once you receive the frameset – and happy riding! 🚴

So 54 mm are fitting. Intresting.
Building mine the upcoming days (finally), but with 50 mm Conti Terra Hardpack. Pretty cheap to get them in Germany these days.

Quoting @cranksmack (maybe you're a chinertown member?):

3mm each side on 303 XPLR (32mm internal)

Wouldn't take them on a wet day...

How long did you wait for the shipment to arrive in Europe from the date of shipment?

Quick update on my side:

The parcel was shipped by Mondince on April 2 and arrived in Germany on April 12. It looks like the tracking info is a bit delayed, with updates showing up 2–3 days later.

I’ll keep you posted as soon as I receive the frameset (I’m based in France) 🙂

Hi guys,

For those of you based in Europe – how long did it take for your parcel to arrive?

Mine was shipped on April 2, and according to 17Track the flight departed on April 8. That’s the latest update I have so far.

On the DPD website, nothing shows up yet, no tracking info at all.

Can't wait to build up the bike! 

Hey guys,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I’m considering using this frame for a fast gravel build (mostly flat terrain), likely with a 52/36 setup.

For those of you who own this frame — do you think 52/36 chainrings will fit without clearance issues (chainstay / FD / tire)?

Any real-world feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
