Hello!

I am actually waiting for this frame to arrive! It will come next week and can give more feedback about it. Choose the purple pearl color.

The more I think about my color design, the more options open up. 
But they are so helpful and do everything I want in terms of design.
I need to make a decision before summer is over! 

What designs did you have made?

I literally ordered that first color. Black to gray fade.

Excited to see it for the first time. Did they send any pictures before shipping it?

Waiting for your build. Mondice was a pleasure to work with when I was making my order, paint options etc. they also acted very nicely after my accident and stopped the production process and refunded me money, because I won't be able to ride bikes for a long time now, if ever again.

Hope you guys enjoy your frames and waitng for them builds

do you guys have info which color schemes and effects are offered by Mondince?
and maybe received some visualizations from them?

i do not really know about color effects, but at minimal they can add pearl to the color and they also have transparent red and blue options
from the colors, they send me their pantone sample book to choose from

Had a nasty crash on Monday with femur broken in multiple places. Season is over for me and don't know what future will bring. Had to cancel my order

So sorry to hear this. I know it's a long road ahead, but I'm pulling for you to be able to get back on the bike some day

Thanks mate. Femur broken in few places. Have a lot of metal inside now hopefully one day I'll be back, but PTSD kinda strong.

Rest up, take it easy, and get well soon!

Matte or gloss clear coat?

I know it supposedly only clears 50mm but do you think it could actually clear 2.1s (say, thunderburt 2.1s)?

Your story makes me sad.  I just placed an order for an FM286. A week later I got a confirmed fractured bone in my right wrist... I'll recover but, really feel for ya'. Hope you get back on the bike in a few months.

I'll take pictures of the clearance when the time comes. I'm almost certain it'll clear thunderburts in dry conditions. May need a smaller back up pair for the mud.

Is there some kind of a Mondince-order-curse? I've broken my collarbone 3 days after the order while snowboarding. I'm still getting the bike!
I hope for your quick recover!

I asked them for a quote for the 316 on february 2 and 3 days later I woke up in the hospital with too many fractures to remember  do not look at mondinces kids
