WHEN OLD IS NEW WITH STATE BIKES

Yes, today’s market of road bikes is all about black plastic and batteries. Or is it. The lads at State Bicycles apparently don’t think so as they’ve teamed with Ham Bikes to push forward a value oriented steel bike that steers clear of the all  tech complexities that the modern world has embraced.

State was launched in 2009 by three Arizona cycling addicts with big dreams. The goal was and remains: to produce premier quality, aesthetically striking bicycles at an impressive sub $700 price.

STATE &  HAM BIKES COMBINE

Press Release

A limited-edition (50 pieces) designed with our friends  at Ham Cycles hailing from the world famous Montrose district of Houston. Inspired by the race machines of yesterday, this ride encourages riders to keep it CASUAL! The limited-run features a Selle Italia Vintage 1980 Turbo Saddle and the option for riders to choose traditional drop-bars or this collab-exclusive “townie” bars.

The 4130 Road Series is perfect for the rider who loves the clean, timeless aesthetic offered by State Bicycle Co. but needs the gears to help with a hilly commute.

Built on the double-butted 4130 Chromoly frames that the company was founded on, this stunning machine pays homage to classic road bikes with plenty of modern qualities. Distinct to the 4130 Road is a highly-responsive classic 8-speed down tube shifting. The bike sports a fully CNC machined crank with 44t chainring with an 11-28 cassette, giving a versatile range to any rider in the city. While keeping classic styling, up-to-date features like a 1 1/8″ threadless stem and lightweight wide rims capable of handling 32c clearance.

State Bicycle Co. paid attention to every detail in our first geared-road bike offering, with special ornamentation on the brake levers, hubs, brake pad holders, saddle, and more. The frame accommodates both front and rear racks. This bike is the perfect commuter for anyone who loves the clean, timeless aesthetic offered by State Bicycle Co. but needs the gears to help with a hilly commute.
