Next up in Stinner’s expansion of their US-made stock bike line are the new Refugio and Carrizo Podium, two titanium gravel bikes available in stock geometry and handmade in California. Learn more here…

Last fall, Stinner Frameworks in California launched its Stinner Select program, through which they’re offering in-stock versions of their Santa Barbara-built bikes without the typical wait times associated with US-made bikes. The program debuted with the Carrizo all-road bike and Refugio gravel bike, both in steel, and we’ve been curious to see whether if the program would expand to include titanium options. The wait is over, and the new Stinner Podium series follows the same format as the Select program but features frames made from straight-gauge titanium to provide an ideal balance of strength, weight, and durability. The series begins with the Refugio and Carrizo Podium. Find details on them below.

Frameworks Refugio Podium

The Refugio Podium is inspired by its steel and custom-made counterparts and named after the rugged, winding terrain of Refugio Road in Santa Barbara, California. It’s built up using straight-gauge titanium tubing, UDH rear dropouts, flat mount brakes, and dishes up 700 x 50mm tire clearance. Every Refugio Podium is fabricated, painted, and assembled in Santa Barbara and comes with the choice of a bead blasted frame with raw titanium with polished Ti graphics or black decals.
