Stinner Frameworks has been fabricating steel and titanium bikes in California for over a decade, becoming one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in the United States. Stinner Stock offers customers handmade quality without the price, lead time, and uncertainty often associated with commissioning a bike of similar material or quality. The Podium Series begins with Stinner’s bestselling models: the Carrizo All-Road, which accommodates 40mm tires, and the Refugio Gravel, which clears a massive 50mm tire. Both are available as a frameset or complete bike with two build kit options, featuring trusted components and common industry-wide standards for ease of maintenance, upgrades, and repairs. The Podium Series will expand throughout 2025 to include the entire range of Stinner bikes. Made locally, ridden globally.
