Innovation, detailing, high quality and above all adaptability.
The Tripster is a unique frameset, designed as a 'fast commuter', but it can be built in a number of different ways to exactly suit the riding style of the individual. Use it with 700c wheels, road tyres and drops, or 26' with road tyres (Kinesis recommend 1.5 minimum, 1.9 max. to keep the BB height up) and flats, or 700c and flats, or set it up with cross tyres as a weekend racer or real on/off road commuter!
Key Features:
- The 7005 series alloy, double butted frame has it's geometry based on Kinesis extremely successful Crosslight frames, but with tweaks such as longer head tubes to make it more 'commuter friendly'.
- The frame has an 'inboard' mounted disc brake to keep it cleanly out of the way and the cables all run along the down tube, adding to the uncluttered look and feel of this frameset.
- Avid cable operated callipers are ideal for this frame.
- There is plenty of clearance for larger road tyres (700c x 33 and 26' x 1.5) and the disc brakes mean swapping wheels sizes is not a problem.
- Specially designed drop outs (135mm hub spacing) have separate rack and mudguard mounts and there are eyeleted bridges for proper attachment.
