Flat bars, a steel fork, and decidedly retro geometry ticks some of the boxes for bringing back those old-school mountain bike memories, but the State Bicycle Co. 4130 Flat Bar is not your Dad’s mountain bike – but it could be a great bike for getting around town.
Similar to the neon-clad mountain shredders of the past, the bike is built on a time-tested 4130 Chromoly Steel frame which is sturdy and durable, and handles like a dream “Offroad”. One will be quick to notice the front fork and rear end both feature a multitude of mounting points giving the rider endless possibilities for, fender, bottle-cage, and cargo-carrying options. The bike’s geometry is tailored for comfortable long days in the saddle.
