The State Bicycle Core-Line is a steel fixed-gear and single-speed bike built for city riding and everyday commuting. Its flip-flop hub lets you run it fixed or freewheel, and the frame has rack and fender mounts plus integrated chain tensioners. It is heavier and less racy than aluminum track bikes, but owners and testers praise its sturdy build and smooth ride for the money. It suits riders who want a simple, low-maintenance bike rather than a race machine.
