The Steelman SR is the quintessence of road racing design and construction. For years competitive and recreational cyclists have chosen the Stage Race as a vehicle to fuel their cycling passion. Brent Steelman, the designer and builder behind this bicycle, tends toward proven design and reliable technologies. So, after working with and perfecting the art of the steel frame the pull of something new was strong.

The year 2005 (25 years after his first frame was built) marks a new era in material/technology for Steelman. The passion to produce the best performing bikes is stronger than ever with the addition of carbon fiber to the Steelman artistic forge. By offering frame materials in full carbon fiber, steel and carbon together, or full steel, the fine tuning of form and function reaches a new level of precision. Carbon fiber offers unparalleled damping of road surface noise, supreme stiffness, and instant power transfer. Steel is well known for its supple resilience, liveliness, and comfort. Incorporating the two materials together offers the distinct characteristics of both in one package. Which is right for you ultimately depends on your physical needs and performance expectations. We encourage you to contact us to further explore the benefits of carbon fiber and steel.

The Stage Race handles every road situation effortlessly. Its light weight and lively character help propel you up steep climbs. Its stability and strength inspire confident sprinting and descending. Its comfortable resiliency will leave you less fatigued after long rides. The SR is a dynamic machine that begs to be ridden.

We offer the Stage Race model as custom built made-to-measure, and in a range of stock geometries from 45cm to 61cm, traditional or semi-compact. Each frame is built to order around the customer's performance demands and physical characteristics. This enables every rider, regardless of size and riding habits, to experience the elusive qualities of stability, liveliness, stiffness, and comfort.

The Stage Race frame is a rare combination of technical achievement, creative design, and passionate performance. Find out why our customers routinely speak of love when describing their bikes!
