Starling Cycles Murmur Hope x Bristol Bicycle Restoration – Marmite Bike?

To celebrate the launch of pre-orders for the Starling Murmur Stainless, Starling have created something rather eye-catching.

Press Release continues:

We teamed up with Bristol Bicycle Restorations and Hope to create a super-special, one-off custom-painted Murmur Stainless. 

The age-old mountain biking truth ‘anodising equals eye-catching’ rings true on this one, and Hope supplied some absolutely stunning anodised parts for this. Choosing all 4 of their ano colours felt a little over the top even for this build, so we stuck with 3 – blue, orange and purple. We selected as many Hope parts as possible and tried to have every part next to a different coloured component. 

Next we enlisted the help of Bristol Bike Restorations for a custom paint job.  We gave Josh free reign to use his own creative interpretation and he created a smooth fade between colours and some nice hex details to match the Hope components.

Spec List:

• Wheels // Ryan Builds Wheels DT Swiss XM421 rims, 24H hubs, silver Sapim CX-Ray spokes 
• Fork // RockShox Pike
• Shock // Cane Creek Inline Coil with Progressive Spring (now available on Starling frames)
• Cockpit // Various from FunnMTB
• Tyres // Michelin Wild AM (using the older generation with white logos so the colours wouldn’t clash!)
• Inserts // CushCore Enduro

We’re absolutely over the moon with the results – and happy with how Marmite the bike seems to be with riders. It did a great job of grabbing attention at the Ardrock Enduro and we’re hoping it’ll do the same as more people catch sight of it.

Press Release ends.
