For their first hardtail, Starling wanted to put out an offering that would stand the test of time and satisfy the needs of riders who want to add a hardtail to their stable to compliment a full suspension bike. For this they opted to make their Roost hardtail from stainless steel tubing, which is manufactured by frame builder giants Ora in Taiwan to offer high production quality with the stainless steel material with a more economical price tag. This material crucially doesn’t rust, so Starling offers it exclusively in a raw paint finish, which should stand up to the test of time on the trails.
The Dirt
We’re not hardtail lovers here at The Loam Wolf our knees have been subjected to enough abuse as it is. However, from time to time a hardtail will catch our eye and convince us to get truly acquainted with the trail below. Between the mullet wheel setup and looks of the bare stainless steel frame, the Starling Roost convinced me to give in and accept the occasional full body battering, and I can’t pretend like I didn’t enjoy it.
