Stinner Frameworks is in the news again with the expansion of their affordable stock offerings. This time, Stinner launches two new affordable models, the new Tunnel Select steel (starting at $1495) and Tunnel Podium titanium (starting at $2695) hardtails.
Stinner Frameworks Tunnel Select & Podium MTB hardtails
Both of these affordable frames are manufactured in Santa Barbara, CA, and feature the “same attention to detail and craftsmanship as the custom offerings”.
The playful Tunnel has been in the Stinner line for years, with geometry that “sits firmly in the middle of the road” and is ready to be a great all-rounder mountain bike.
The Tunnel line of bikes is named after a particularly gnarly trail in the mountains above Santa Barbara. The trail is sad to be “relentlessly steep, rutted, and demands skill and commitment”, forging better riders and better bikes.

That’s the ethos that inspires the Tunnel line of bikes.
