I’ve been following this thread for a while now and noticed the frequency of posts tailing off a bit, of late. I’m considering building a Tripster ATR, – based on a V2 frame – but I think it’s fair to say this bike looks less value for money than it used to be considering you need to spend £2k just for the frame and forks alone.
I see a few V1 frames have failed within the warranty period. Do we know if any V2 frames have failed yet?
Other manufacturers seem to offer more comprehensive warranties than Kinesis. J. Guillem offer a 100 year warranty on their bikes (granted, they are a tad more expensive to buy upfront, but a Ti frame is still a Ti frame).
What are people’s thoughts on this bike now? Is it still one of the best gravel/adventure bikes out there? Or are there better alternatives these days?
Is there anybody in the Southampton/Winchester area that has a 54cm ATR I might be able to try for size, please?
Thanks,
Steve
