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)...

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...

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.
