i call her midnight

A Reddit user shares their experience building a custom gravel bike using the Mondince FM296 frame, a full carbon fiber gravel frame that is also used by State Bicycle Co. for their All Road Carbon V2 model. The bike, named 'Midnight,' weighs 8.2 kg and cost $3,816 to build. The user praises the frame's quality, customization options, and value, noting that Mondince manufactures frames for well-known brands like State, Cube, and Argon18.
