AFAIK Staigers have never been imported to the US. I suspect the few that find their way over came over the way mine did, via a military person. I actually know a bit of the history on mine, young Air Force tech sergeant purchased it while on duty at Ramstein, brought it back and decided she wanted a go faster bike, traded it on an Orbea.
