The State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road is a steel road bike built on a double-butted 4130 chromoly frame, with classic down-tube shifting and an 8-speed 11-28 cassette paired to a 44t CNC-machined crank. It mixes retro styling with modern touches: a 1 1/8" threadless stem, sealed-bearing quick-release wheels, and clearance for 32c tires. The frame takes front and rear racks, so it works as a geared city commuter. Riders rate it highly for the ride quality and looks, though the down-tube shifters and steel weight are the usual trade-offs against modern STI-equipped aluminum bikes.
