Staiger???
I have a Staiger road bike, but i have not been able to find very much info. I guess it must be late 70's era, ive read they were (and still are) made in germany. This frame is lugged steel. Anyone have one or have any info, such as value/worth upgrading?

Staiger is still in business, but I don't know anything about the company. I own a 2003(?) Staiger Florida which is considered a trekking bike.
Their website is https://www.staiger-fahrrad.de I don't do german very well. They may have a history section, or perhaps you could contact customer service?
Good Luck and let us know what you find out.

I was given a Staiger a couple years ago. It had a lugged carbon steel frame and was about '79 vintage as best I could tell from component date codes. Not a remarkable bike; built-up with mid-range components. The person I got it from said they bought it in Austria and used it to tour the Alps.

It's interesting that their sports bikes are all named after U.S. states or cities.

Geschichte = History, other than that, despite a year of classroom study, my German is pretty pathetic. Looks like it's still family run though.

I have a Staiger, a 2-speed kickback camper bike called a "Jumbo Jet"

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.

It needs some pics.
Here's the chainring guard and a classic Staiger re-sold here in the USA.
Question - would you put this on a classic lightweight drop handlebar bike, like an 81 Austro Daimler??? It would be the only one (chain guard) in my collection.
edit: Going to the link above takes you to a site for Winora bicycles, nicely translated into English, but no mention of Staiger, based on a quickie site search.

Staiger and Winora are now under one roof.
The old Staiger entitiy was termed Staiger GMBH.
Current name Winora-Staiger GMBH.
Both in turn are owned by the dutch holding company ACCELL GROUP N.V.

Company tends to employ the Winora badge for practical transportation machines and the Staiger badge for sports machines.

I have a Winora, BTW. Picked it up really cheap and used it as an office errand bike for a while. The long wheelbase makes for an interesting ride. Original seller's pic:
