Thanks! My saddle height is at 85cm - measured from BB center to the top of the saddle, parallel to the seat tube. There is roughly one more cm before i hit the "minimal insert" mark of the Mondince seatpost. So, yes, I guess it will be similar for you...

Yes, my package included a silicone seal/collar.
I also 3d-printed a TPU plug for the seatpost clamp screw hole underneath though.

Quote from: FlorianS on November 02, 2026, 06:41:35 AMWhat's included in the 1493g – is it just the frame or all the parts (thru-axles, UDH, seat post clamp, headset, ...) + seat post as well?

I looked at a picture on the scale again. I did include the rear axle, the front derailleur mount bracket, the UDH but not the seat post, seat post clamp or headset.

That's how the frame came in the box and I put it straight on the scale - otherwise i would have started building it up immediately. Subtract a few grams as i left the that little pipe on there they put around the axles to prevent the rear triangle from getting squeezed during shipping.

PS: The frame came with a cover plate for the front deraillleur mount in case you want to go 1x - pretty nice.

Thanks everyone for the info in this thread, I received my frame last Wednesday after a few of the usual delays and finished my build on Friday.

Frame weight is 1493g plus 540g for the fork. The overall build weighs 9.2kg including pedals and bottle cages.


The frame looks good, brake mounts and bottom bearing seats had no paint and no alignment issues. The fork looked fine as well. The only minor issues were:

• the headset parts seem to be somewhat non-standard and the FSA compatible headset top cover that came with my cockpit didn't fit at all. I designed and 3D-printed a top cap that has pockets for those three non-symmetric protrusions of the sealing ring and replaces the uppermost part of the headset that comes with the frame. Works like a charm.
• the mounting points on the seatstays were not fully covered with paint and silver/aluminium was visible even with screws in them. Fixed it easily with some black nail polish

And this is the full build spec:

• Frame: Mondince FM376 XL, UD matte (incl. zero-offset seatpost)
• Wheels: CSC DLR 5.0 (32mm internal / 41mm external / 50mm depth), with ZTTO 36T hardened steel ratchet (because the stock ones seem to desintegrate easily)
• Cockpit: Kreuza Apex GR 385/130
• Groupset: Shimano GRX Di2 RX827 (1x12, wireless), 44t T.A. Specialites chainring, 4iii left-side powermeter
• Bottom bracket: Miche T47 IC XL 24
• Tires: Continental Dubnital 2.2", 56mm measured, plenty of clearance
• Saddle: Ryet non-3d printed (don't want dirt in the mesh)

I ordered a frame about two weeks ago as well, should be shipping soon, at least I hope so.

Quick question: Did you get a bag for the downtube storage in the box?
