State Bicycle Co. Klunker - Black & Metallic (27.5")

I was a bike mechanic for 10 years but am not allowed to build my own single speed coaster brake bike and still get a warranty on a frame. It’s a sick bike perfect for cruising with the family.

Perfect Multi-use Bicycle! Fast shipping, easy to assemble, very comfortable, excellent design, well built, good components, great price. I’m 63 and wanted more comfort and versatility than a diamond frame bike provides. I ride the mostly flat to mild hill streets in a busy city of 60,000 population out in the desert southwest. Plenty of trails nearby too, from easy to deadly. Also wanted a grocery getter/errand runner that wasn’t complicated and was fast on the streets. This bike does it all. I mounted Maxxis Hookworms 2.5” tires and it rides like a skinny tire road bike now, FAST. Those tires at 65 psi are hard as a rock. I’m 6’0”/220 lbs and the rear tire barely bulges under my weight with 20-30 lbs of groceries. I will build a set of wheels for the Maxxis Vigilantes that came with it and use those on the moderate trails, but the Hookworms are fine for exercise trails and crossing vacant lots. NOTE: Please run a sealant in your tubes; saves a LOT of headaches! I use Orange Seal, works great! I also replaced the seat, which was too narrow for my aging butt, with the broken-in Brooks B67 off my diamond frame bike, and I added an Ibera rear rack for use with canvas saddle bag panniers for groceries. Works like a charm. NOTE: The bike has no dropout holes for a rack, but seat stay lugs are present. I drilled and tapped one hole in each rear dropout for mounting the rack. Also, with cloth saddle bags, I chose the Ibera rack for disc brakes because it mounts about an inch off the dropout with a spacer, moving it further away from the wheel by about an inch on each side. Keeps the cloth bags out of the spokes when riding them empty. ALSO NOTE: Drilling the rear dropout voids the warranty, but it’s void anyway if you assemble the bike yourself. I wasn’t going to pay $50 to a shop to do such a simple assembly. If you’re tool-less and clue-less on such matters, have a shop assemble your bike. After that, you have to jump through some paperwork loops to properly register your bike for warranty; check the SBC website for warranty details. I highly recommend this bike as there is nothing like it on the market. For a multi-use bike, you can’t beat it. With a little seat/tire tweaking and maybe a rack if needed, you can make it your own perfect ride.

State Klunker Purchased the moment I saw it and haven’t looked back! Absolutely love the bike, tough enough for taking the off-road route to the brewery and smooth enough for the road back home. Had an issue with a missing part, but the State customer service team did not disappoint. 10/10 would buy again. Thanks State!

Shipped fast, packaged well, easy to assemble. Bike looks and rides great and I've been having a blast ripping around town.

This bike is simply a masterpiece. It's a shame I can't buy it. You don't ship to Ukraine!

Even though it’s freezing out, I haven’t noticed on this bike. It’s been such a pleasure to ride.

I beat around the neighborhood and went back down some local paths.

It is very quiet and I forgot how much fun big tires can be! Love it,

Love it,

Love it.

Love the bike easy to assemble but the seat post clamp is bad (sorry to say). I tied it up to the max and the seat still goes up and down and that is supper annoying. I had to get the wheel tuned up! Overall bike is great but needs better quality control and especially a better seat clamp. I have to buy a new one that can hold my seat. Just to be clear it is not my weight. I am 5’10 and 169 lbs

Great bike for someone just getting into riding. My wife loved it.

Got the Klunker. Such a cool design. Makes me feel like a kid (I'm 51) and so easty and nice to ride.
