• I've got both (atr and pickenflick) I would get the pickenflick. I'm 5' 8" and the small fits fine with 100mm stem. You may need to swap to a 90mm.

  • Hi pryally, I am trying to make a decision between these two. Was first thinking Pickenflick, but then saw the ATR and all the praise it gets. I really want a go everywhere do anything machine. But also want mudguards etc. for practicality in the winter. My use would not be CX racing, but gravel and back road trips with hightened heartrate, commuting, longer trips, road use and ultimately The Transcontinental Race(will probably remain a dream) Could you elaborate why you would choose the Pickenflick over the ATR? And given the uses I mention would you still say Pickenflick over ATR? And is it motivated by price or by the bike? Meaning if price was not an issue would you picked the PF over ATR?

    My choice is between

    1. Pickenflick frame with Kinesis CX buildkit - Cheapest
    2. Pickenflick finished bike with SRAM 22 Hydro - +176 GBP or 228 USD
    3. Kinesis ATR with Kinesis cx build kit. - + 588 GBP or 761 USD

    I would love your input on why you would choose the PF over the ATR and what use of the bike makes you say that. Any help with these hard decisions will really be useful to me!

    And then there is also the new Tempest from Planet X that has the eyelets for mounting mudguards etc.... this is hard.... Just really want to find the bike I can live with for a very long time. Anyway, would love to hear about your experience!
