Reviews & Ratings
The Mondince FM356 is a carbon bikepacking frame with 61mm tire clearance, dropped seat stays, and geometry similar to the Salsa Cutthroat and Open Wi.De 2.0. It is available in multiple sizes, with the 54cm releasing first. The frame is sold directly through Mondince (not on AliExpress) and can be ordered via WhatsApp contact. Price is $625. The frame includes in-frame storage. However, the design has changed: the new geometry chart shows a narrower fork upper part, potentially reducing tire clearance, and size S has a short BB-to-fork-axle distance (589mm) causing significant toe overlap. The frame is expected to be released around August 2026.
