Reviews & Ratings
The Mondince FM356 is a carbon gravel/bikepacking frame designed for up to 61mm (2.4") tires. It features a geometry similar to the Open Wi.De 2.0 but with dropped seat stays, rack-less frame mounts, and integrated frame storage. Price is $625 for frameset including fork, seatpost, axles, headset, and frame bag. Production started in mid-2026 with sizes S-XL; available directly from Mondince (not on AliExpress). The frame weight is around 1307g (size M). Headset is FSA standard (52mm ID, 56mm OD). Fork rake is 50mm with potential 65mm option. The manufacturer actively incorporates customer feedback, e.g., increasing front-center distance in size S. Recent customer reports highlight excellent customer service and warranty support, with properly faced brake mounts and bottom bracket. Custom paint is available for an additional cost. However, there are some design limitations: the downtube storage compartment is small, and using both bottle cages (on the storage cover and seat tube) simultaneously is not possible, as the storage door cannot be opened with the seat tube bottle in place. The painted storage cover may have fitting issues, prompting Mondince to send unpainted covers as backup. Shipping costs vary depending on destination and speed, with some customers paying around €127 for duty-paid shipping.
