At the request of UrbanHiker here's a lovely picture of my Sabbath.
Drivetrain is Shimano 105 mechanical with Shimano hydraulic discs (160mm rotors)
Deda 35 Carbon bars and stem to match, Brooks Cambrium Saddle on Sabbath Ti seatpost, SP Dynamo Hub Supernova Lights, Pacenti 25mm rims and Gatorskin Tyres.
I didn't buy the Tripster because of the rear brake routing and the way that the rear brake mounted. Beyond that it was a tough call but I have to say that after only three rides I am delighted with my choice. I think it looks quite pretty too.
What's tyre clearance like, with or will hour mudguards?
Sorry, but I can't see the pic.
Nice on NJA 🙂 (though I can't see the pic either)
Did you test ride them both?
MCTD, happened to look that up yesterday. ATR is 40mm + guards, AR-1 is 35mm + guards.
Cheers. I was assured a couple of months ago that an Enigma Etape Disc would take 28mm tyres and guards, and it's cheaper than a Tripster, but keen to consider any other options!
Tripster says max mudguard is 45, but I think someone got some 50mm on their - I am going to try one day.
Tripster feels made for 40c tyres - love mine.
Whats the pickenflick like compared to these two. Im kinda ready to click buy on a tripster but i used to own a sabbath September and rated it highly. Tho i currently own a kinesis pro6 and a planetx rt57 lol
But the headtoooooob!
AR1 wins with rear brake routing but Tripster nails it with the headtube

If it's Ti Tourer Top Trumps, then a Van Nicholas Amazon takes 1.75" (45mm) tyres.
#justsayinglike
Van nicholas has those vintage rim brakes though like, ugly head tube and tripster routing.
Tripster takes 45 without mudguards...
Think theVN will take discs by the look of it:

Google images only seemed to bring up the vintage models.. presumed they hadnt gotten round to discs yet.. they are ok i spose.
I keep reading the decal as Van Helsing 😆
