The Starling Cycles Roost. The bike that Hardtail Party said “corners like a dream!“.
A handbuilt, zingy stainless steel frame makes light work of rough and rowdy descents whilst mullet wheels bring that perfect balance of flick-knife and magnum. With room for a 120mm to 160mm fork you’ve got plenty of options to custom-build your own perfect setup.
It’s not a spindly XC whippet, it’s not a sickly ‘ardcore ‘ardtail. It’s a ride-wherever, ride-whatever, tough-as-nails stainless do-it-all that’s built to take on whatever you can throw it at.
And, of course, it’s built with beautiful stainless steel for that super shiny, head-turning raw metal style.
The Roost is in stock and ready to ship straight-away. No need to wait for your frame to be manufactured.

Our bikes eliminate complexity.
They’re the counter-argument to mountain biking’s obsession with ‘more’. More pivots and more space-age materials. More acronyms and more marketing bullshit. The misconception that more tech means more fun.
We make unashamedly simple bikes. We include only what’s necessary, nothing more.
But simple doesn’t mean basic, and it certainly isn’t easy. It takes a whole heap of experience, expertise, testing, refinement and love to make bikes this good, and this simple.
Our full suspension frames are made using high-end, recycled steel. They have a smart and simple adjustable shock mount to vary travel. They have an aluminium seat-post insert to eliminate stuck seat posts. There’s a tough-as-nails anti-flare headtube, a neatly integrated chain guide, a machined main-pivot piece that’s strong, stiff and easy to maintain. And they have SRAM UDH hangers, of course.
And to give you the confidence you need, our frames are covered by our 7-year warranty and crash replacement service. They can be repaired, refurbished, repainted and often upgraded to keep them charging hard for years to come.
Starling Cycles are made by real flesh-and-blood humans. The perfect blend of precision and passion.
Our frames are hand-crafted with quality, lightweight steel for an unmistakable feel and undeniable speed.
Our single-pivot suspension design eliminates complexity. A blast to ride and a breeze to maintain.
