Black Friday – ‘Free’ Starling Frames

So Starling are giving away *free Black Friday Frames. Only caveat is you need to wait 7years, when the warranty runs out to get your money back (less the VAT and postage)…

Starling Cycles. Handmade Steel Bikes.

Hmmm? I usually keep frames for 10 years or so if I get on with them. Can’t afford it now though, but might suit a similar long-termer? Bit odd though.

£50 off first order for signing up too… hmm. I wish I needed a(nother) hardtail! er Full suspension.. “100% off ANY full suspension frame*.”

You can understand my confusion when he’s holding a bleedin hardtail in the YT thumbnail! (I know I know, it’s a full sus without the backend. Jeez shut up will ya)

Thats a great deal. Even if you stop riding it after 3 or 4 years (how long I usually keep my main bike for), just put it somewhere safe and claim your ~£2k back a few years later.

Seriously tempted by a Twist…

Video intro is excellent, I’ll give em that 😀 – (that’s a smile, not a frickin question mark)

Also, more small print “The first 10 customers…” only

That’s nuts and very tempting

There have been a few cases of this in the past that rely on a certain percentage failing to remember. But knowing what pedants we all are I can see claims coming back 7 years to the minute

If I were Joe I’d stick a pot of money aside (15k) for December 2031…

I wonder if it’s first registered customers, or first 10 to claim in 7 years time…

Edit – first 10 to purchase a frame with BLACKFRIDAYSUCKSas a code to register for the deal…

Code is accepted at checkout now but t&cs say “Offer begins 12:01am on 29/11/2024” so if you buy before then with the code you’re not one of the 10? I assume they’ll let you know if you’re successful and one of the ten after purchase

Great marketing but who the hell keeps a bike/frame for 7 years?

Me apparently – 8 year old Starling Swoop is my main bike.

Even at that price I don’t want a steel Orange.
