no reason at all not to... they're ace bikes (in typical tradition of recommending what you already own, here's a picture of mine)

Do it! Just upgrade wheels later on... Or straight away.

Because you don't get a warranty second hand?

I give mine a double thumbs up. While the looks aren't to everyone's taste, you can't see it when you're riding it. And there's a lot to be said for a workhorse gravel bike. I have two sets of wheels and throw on some fat slicks and guards for winter road riding. If you do go down this route then I'd suggest two wheelsets with the same hub to avoid the small faff of having to adjust the calipers/shim the rotor for the wheel change.
Here's a picture of me being a fool on mine

The only anti-tripster comments is “it’s a little bit boring” and I think that was in the sense that it’s not going to get Instagram Likes.
I think it’s pretty jolly well effing OK 👍

Any reason not to buy a Kinesis Tripster AT? Knocked the idea of HVRT on the head and now looking at cheaper 2nd hand options I won't be terrified of fucking up. Will be for 2-3 day tours on very bad condition gravel roads with horrible gradients.
£1250 seems ok in current climate for something in decent condition with GRX/ok wheelset? Struggling to find a suitable 2nd hand Arkose...
