Starling Cycles (UK) – Press Release: Starling Cycles Migration - A mountain biker’s round-towner.

To the office or the local:
We’ve all got that one special bike that gets the least love but does the most miles, right?

It’s that tough, simple and trusty hack that carries you to and from the office, gets you safely to the pub and saves you from the dreaded bus.

It gets locked up to railings, thrown onto trains, it hammers out miles in the worst of weathers… it’s the bike you just couldn’t live without.

The Starling Cycles Migration is our take on the trusty hack bike. It’s your daily grinder that’ll lap up all of those must-do miles without batting an eyelid.

The Migration isn’t the trendy, fancy steel road bike everyone expected us to make. It’s designed to be built up with all of those mountain bike bits in your garage. It’ll take your 650b wheels, it’ll take a mountain bike handlebar and it’ll work beautifully with hydraulic disc brakes.

There’s also clearance for a mountain bike tyres up to 2″ so you don’t have to invest in new rubber. It’ll also take MTB cranks and drivetrains and works with 1x setups.

Like most of our bikes, the Migration is hand-built in Bristol and is available with custom geometry and custom colours.

The fine details:

• Hand built in steel in Bristol, UK
• Custom geometry available
• Compatible with 1x MTB drivetrains
• … and with 12mm bolt through 650b non-boost wheels
• … and with hydraulic discs with rotors up to 180mm
• Reynolds 853/631 and Columbus Life and Zona tubing
• Available as frame and fork only
• Optional Clandestine colour-matched stem available
• £1100 (includes custom geo frame and fork)

We’re taking orders for the Migration now with a 2-3 month lead time.
