We’ve just moved into the new workshop, we’re able to manufacture at a better rate and, we’ve managed to refine a few processes to improve efficiency.
We’ve also looked at our orders and (no surprises here) most of our customers are ordering Medium or Large frames.
And so, we’ve been able to make some improvements.
After a bit of planning and improvement, we’ve been able to cut our manufacturing time down pretty significantly.
Murmur and Twist frames in Medium, Large and Extra Large sizes can now be manufactured in 50% of the time that we’d previously been working.
Our usual lead time is 16 weeks, meaning you’d usually get a frame within 16 weeks of pressing ‘buy’. From now on, we’re able to cut that in half, delivering M, L and XL Murmur and Twist frames after just 8 weeks of you placing your order.
And in case you’re wondering, there are no changes to the manufacturing process, build speed or quality of the product. We’re just focussing on batch-manufacturing the most popular sizes that we know will be needed the most. The other sizes will remain exactly the same, at 16 weeks.
Order soon and you’ll be riding your new Starling in the summer sun with plenty of dusty trails, grippy lines and mud-free days left to enjoy your new frame.
Bear in mind though – it’s first come, first served and if this proves popular it might impact lead times. So, don’t hang about if you want to be at the top of the queue.
