Tripster looks decent Kai, have a look at the Giant brand too. I'm not a fan of the curly handlebars so always gone for the Giant Rapid with skinny tyres and flat handlebars. Check your local small/independent bike shops and ask them, they're way more informed and honest than the Halfords type places as they're trying to keep you as a loyal customer rather than 1 in, 1 out type.Kai wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 1:49 pmBit early to start drinking lads, surely?![]()
Anyway to go back on topic, after a tremendous amount of research I think I will go for Kinesis Tripster ATR V3 : https://road.cc/content/review/kinesis- ... 021-279589
It has excellent reviews and track record overall, it just seems to be great value and people are very happy with it apparently, although I will probably only use it on the weekends. But don't need much honestly, just want a reliable tripster that won't leave me lying face down in the gutter somewhere.

I never heard of one either. I assumed it's someone who tries to trip you up as you walk down the street.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 11:45 amOK, you got meDerek27 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 10:25 amHe's looking for a tripster, not tipster, but you're not the only one who missed the 'r'.

Never heard of a "tripster" ... thought it was a genuine typo!
If I had to guess that "tripster" was intended I would probable have thought it was someone (maybe blonde and busty!) who accompanies gentlemen on trips!
