It would be cool if you could extract rubber inserts for luggage from the fork and take a pictures of fork without them to be able to see how they are made. I asked Mondince about it but they didn’t make such pics.

Yes because there's nothing special about this, it's a simple through-hole.

Looks great! I was thinking of getting the 2.4" Scorpions once my frame arrives, too. What made you decide to go down to 2.25" Thunder Bursts instead?

We just don’t have the terrain here, mostly flat / no elevation hard pack gravel with little bits of single trail. The scorpions have quite low rolling resistance though, so I’ll see how I get on with them first.

Can you tell me what type of bars those are? I'm looking for something with short drop like this so my neck doesn't get mad at me.

Sadly no 40cm available. https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006590376773.html

Wow! Cool build! Could you measure and take pics of clearances between tire - fork, tire - seatstay, tire - chainstay plz, plz, plz🙏🙂

I don't have a caliper at the moment. Measuring with an allen key, it's ~6mm each side on chainstay and seatstays the 8mm fits. Fork the 8mm also fits, plenty with the tire measuring ~61mm on 32mm inner width rims.

Just did a ~4km test ride to bed in brakes etc. Rides great from first impression. Still have a bit of a chimney above the stem, due to playing around with the stack. Will probably leave the spacers how they are right now (20mm including headset topcap) and shorten the steerer. Running 2.4" Pirelli Scorpion XC RH atm. but I think I'll go down to 2.25" thunder burts for my normal riding.

Do the brake mounts look flush or faced?
Yes they are faced, looks good on first glance. Also installed BB earlier and there's no paint overlap.

What is the fit like for the painted downtube storage cover? Jack emailed me to say that they had some fitting issues with the painted covers, so he's also sending me an unpainted one.
Opened / closed it a few times, doesn't seem like there are any issues. Fits snug. They also only painted the outside.

Thanks for the photos, looking forward to the complete build / if the sun is out. The transparent red looks kind of similar to the Angle Cycle Gamma (the gravel bike that is shown in some zara stores) which looks really cool in person and has some silver logos under the red clearcoat. I will try to get such a paintjob from mondice or light cycling with the new FM376.

Yup looks really nice in person as well and it's actually way more red when the sun hits it. Sadly mondince didn't include the rubber downtube protection, apparently not ready yet. They'll ship it out once it's done.
The balugoe stem + spacers / topcap also somewhat fit with a little gap. Will probably swap to yishun integrated cockpit anyway once I've found a nice fit.

What's this color, looks great! Can't wait to see a pictue in direct sunlight

It’s a candy red into raw ud carbon fade. They can do any color with the candy effect. I was stuck between red / blue and green, but in the end my current helmet matched the red -> black fade so that’s what I went with.

Is the shipping with tax included?

Yes, specifically asked as well when I ordered. 127 euro for duty paid shipping.

I like the look

Agree, will look even better with less spacers and with those stack numbers could even run it slammed. Position would still be more comfortable than many frames on the market.

Almost finished the build.

Cockpit: Rpantahi 360mm
Wheelset: Elitewheels Gravel Aero+ (32mm IW)
Tires: Continental Dubnital 55mm (55mm WAM)

Tightest part is the chain stay, as expected. 8mm clearance, which means 57mm tires (WAM) fit with exactly 6mm clearance.

Looks great! A bit off-topic, but how'd you go about getting rid of the big elitewheels logos?  :D

I have been having problems with brake rub on the front brake. The brake is perfectly aligned at lower tensions on the lower brake caliper bolt, but when increased to 4-5 Nm, it would throw off the alignment and the brake would rub. I could not fix it myself. I finally brought it to my local bike shop and they tried everything, including facing the brake mounts. They are pretty sure that an imperfection in the fork, near the thru axle insert, is causing the problem.

The good news is that Jack was very quick to reply and offered to cover the fork under warranty, even though he has never heard such an issue with their forks (which is reassuring since it does not seem to be a generalized issue).

I am just waiting for them to paint it and ship it over. I am only covering the shipping cost. It's a win in my books!

That’s honestly really good customer service, comparing it to the posts in SpCycle G028 thread where people have to fight with them over steerer layup quality 😂.

They confirmed to me that there will be rubber downtube / chainstay protection. Let's see... :D
