Hi, as per the title. Would anyone have a 57cm or 60cm frame size and know the standover height?

I have a standard tripster 60cm with 25mm tyres.

If it will help I can give you stand over heights

I'm 6ft3 and its spot on for me.

I've got a standard 57cm Tripster and I'm 6'1''. Right on the limit for a 57cm but it rides so nicely. Got 25mm on it as well if you want a measurement of that?

Would love a Ti one but can't justify the cash and they won't part ex the kids for one :O(

Timbur/Damascus, that would be most helpful. I have a biggish birthday coming up and I think it is time to get that n+1.
And I did send Kinesis a mail on it a while back but no reply..

I certain someone above has a Ti one arriving tomorrow apparently.
I hate him and he knows it.
Measurements later. What exactly do you want?

Timbur, the height of the top-tube just beyond the nose of the saddle.

Damascus,

Birdage,
Would love to see the Tripster,when you get it; what brakes did you go for?

Somafunk, appreciate you taking the time. Are you using yours for commuting mostly?

Nah not really, i use it for everything from trail riding/going for a pootle/heading to work (i stay in Galloway) and hopefully later on this year i'm buggering off for a few weeks island hopping up the west coast.

My Cove Hummer has been unused for months, i'm not bothered bout joining the strava scene so i ride to put a smile on my face - the Tripster does that everytime as it is so capable.

Yah! Arrived.

Going to be transferring most of the runnning gear from my Peregrine and use that as a 9-speed bog monster. Will be 1 x 10, with a 11-36 cassette. Brakes will be BB7s mainly cause that's what I already have and also I'm kind of used to their little quirks now. Jagwire cables seem to make a positive difference to their performance in my experience.
