Mondince FM126

No, the frame is made from two bonded molds (front triangle and rear), not a single-piece monocoque. This is common for cost savings and does not significantly affect performance.

Officially 32C with 5.5mm clearance on each side. Users report that 35mm tires can fit with reduced clearance, and 40mm gravel tires do not fit.

There are concerns about low trail (~49mm) on sizes 56+ due to steep head angle (74°) and 47mm fork offset, which may cause twitchy steering. Some users advise caution for taller riders.

The superlight version (size 56) weighs ~1055g painted with hardware. The ultralight version is ~100g lighter. Raw carbon weight is lower but not specified. A user reported size 54 SL painted white: frame 1172g, fork 549g uncut.

Yes, single frames are available for order directly from Mondince. The earlier MOQ of 20 is no longer required.

Mondince offers an integrated carbon handlebar in widths 360-420mm and stems 80-120mm. The handlebar has holes for TT extensions (may be removed in final version). A standard round handlebar can also be used.

The frame appears designed for electronic groupsets, but mechanical may be possible with external routing. Confirmation from the manufacturer is recommended.

Mondince offers a warranty on parts. For the Indiegogo campaign, refunds were promised if the goal was not met. For direct orders, warranty terms should be confirmed with Jack.

The fork uses a separate crown race (not integrated). Early batches had a poorly fitting crown race causing a visible gap between the head tube and fork crown. Mondince has acknowledged the issue and is sending a revised crown race to reduce the gap. Some users have also successfully used an FSA ACR headset to improve fitment. Note: the crown race must be installed with the correct orientation (flipped if gap persists).

The seatpost has a stated minimum insertion depth of 120mm, which may limit maximum saddle height. However, the manufacturer has indicated that 100mm or even 90mm is acceptable. For riders needing more height, a 400mm seatpost is available upon request.

Some users report noticeable lateral flex at the bottom bracket, especially when sprinting >1000W. The frame is less stiff than a LightCarbon LCR018 or a fake SL8. Mondince states it passes ISO standards. This may affect ride feel for heavier or more powerful riders.

The provided Di2 battery mount may not fit; the seatpost is narrow enough to hold the battery snugly without a mount. Mondince can send a replacement mount.

The frame is also available as Longteng RD302. You can contact Longteng directly via Alisa to purchase.
