Designed and hand-built in house, we developed this frame in response to our local London crit racing scene. The Stayer Crit is a light and fast modern Columbus steel road bike frame that is super stiff and responsive, specifically built and designed for road riding and racing.
A handmade steel frame for disc brakes with a flat mount, carbon road fork and thru axle wheel fitment. Made with your choice of gear routing and brake setup. Available in your choice of house finishes or your own ‘any colour RAL’ or ready to paint options. As close as you can come to a full custom frame without joining the deep dive waiting list. And most importantly trying to take the waiting and not knowing out of ordering a handmade bike frame.
Whatever speed you ride a Stayer frame it is made to last by folks who know bikes and how to put them together and are also – quite fortuitously – the folks who you talk to when you get in touch to ask questions or to place an order.
Designed, made, sold, marketed and most importantly ridden by the Stayer Workshop in East London. We are bike makers and we ride and sell our own stuff and are pretty chuffed about it!
Choose your frame size, gear and brake routing options and finish. If what you want isn’t currently in stock then please contact us for the next batch dates and out of batch build options.
Every frame is finished and painted to order so please expect a 4 week wait* from placing your order to dispatch. This is as close as you can get to a custom bike frame without joining the deep dive list. If you have any questions on process, timing, next batch dates or anything in the order form please get in touch. Wheel bundle and full bikes build options are available, just mention you would like this addition in the order notes when you place you order and we will be in touch – also please see further info below.
*Subject to change at any time. Whist we make every effort to stick to our very short delivery times for such a custom process things can be delayed for numerous reasons. We try very hard to get your frame to you within the time stated but some outsourced processes, materials or components supply, or shipping can be out of our control and hope that you will bear that in mind when talking to our staff and outlining your expectations. We will however make every effort to keep you well informed if delays occur. Every frame is routed and finished to your specifications. Once that process starts the frame is custom to you and full refunds can no longer be given.

Thus follows the geo chart for standard sizes as well as a separate sizing guide chart to suggest stuff like a guide stem length and saddle height etc for each size. If you are still befuddled after these numbers then either drop us a line or have a think about if you land between sizes – everyone is different – in which case maybe a conversation about a custom build might be an idea.
It is always worth chatting to a fitter if you are thinking about a custom size bike – there are many good ones but the most important is to find someone you feel will listen to what you want out of a bike rather than just tell you what you need. There is nothing quite like a personally fitted machine but also it could be the case that with good fitting and parts choices you will sit nicely on something off the peg so don’t despair if it initially seems confusing or not quite right. Get in touch if you are unsure and we will try to point you in the right direction.
If you are also in search of wheels for your new Stayer Crit frame set you will be pleased as punch to know that we offer a small, but useful, discount against a purchase of handbuilt Stayer wheels and your further investment in our company. Check out all the specs and options here – Road Disc Wheelset and get in touch for pricing and availability either via the comment section of the order form or by emailing directly to contact@stayercycles.com.
There really is no better upgrade to a bike than a hand built and balanced set of wheels. Add to that a one to one service from the Stayer builders and a true and spoke replacement policy for any non crash related issues we believe you will experience the full force of the master wheel builder small business feels from your new set of Stayer wheels.
You can also order your Stayer Crit frame as a fully built bike! We have three bike build packages below for your Crit frameset. Have a look at the prices and components and get in touch if you are interested or say at the point of ordering and we will sort it out. These prices are limited to these builds. We can also help you with a custom build or putting your bike together with some bits you already have but we will price separately for this as the organisation and sourcing parts is no small task. We are also very keen to work with your LBS so ask about this if you’re into a full bike build.
