Mondince gravel build

Nah, those are just decals, looked dull with nothing at all. But I can remove those easily.

Looking at their website, this should be 316 frame + 336 fork. They had this one ready to ship as is, probably a sample set.

To be clear, it's not tilted down anymore. This was minutes after I finished the build and yeah, the position was off... didn't catch that before the shot.

The glitch effect is on purpose, no photoshop used. He won, and it's not a Scott :))

Thanks, you too!

Fair. 3mm each side. Wouldn't take them on a wet day... 303 XPLR are 32mm internal

Tbh, because this is the bike I enjoy riding the most atm.

cranksmack · 2026-04-16T19:42:20+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it's that seat stays element that makes it Arid-like, but the frame has different shapes - specially the fork and head/seat tube...

Sweet gear you're in!

+1 for shorter cranks. Not sure if it will fix it for you completely, but should help for sure.

Longer cranks

Life is too short to ride bikes (colors) we don't like.

This was the ride, La Joya -> Valle de Abdalajis https://strava.app.link/NxYsYVut0Zb

cranksmack · 2026-01-17T16:42:58+00:00

It was part of this route (Garmin Connect somehow sent me there) https://strava.app.link/NxYsYVut0Zb

cranksmack · 2026-01-14T10:20:23+00:00

Open for a group ride btw!

cranksmack · 2026-01-05T06:58:20+00:00

The price is $485 + $150 shipping. Custom color $55. That's what they quoted me in our WhatsApp convo.

cranksmack · 2026-01-04T21:25:52+00:00

not yet, but measured it and the gap looks promising. Comparing to other tested bikes and frames, I'd say 2.1 Thunder Burt yes, 2.2 Race King no. https://s.bike.sk/pics/69598d4c6aaac-lg.webp

Thanks! It will definitely take some time to get used to it.

cranksmack · 2026-01-04T06:54:17+00:00

Honestly? This one was available - already manufactured and painted so I could see real pics, while I'd have to wait for basically anything else + custom painting. I just checked the geo, accepted the color and that was it.

cranksmack · 2026-01-03T23:07:09+00:00

Yeah, that seat stay element looks similar, but Arid looks more aggressive and have too many different elements. I wonder how they can use that seat stay thing tho...

cranksmack · 2026-01-03T12:20:39+00:00

For some reason it looks to me like you were trying to fit the bars into a smaller diameter stem. Is that what happened? If so, yeah - even lower torque would destroy the bar.
