Solid entry level fixed

If you’re looking at this bike, chances are you know what you want: an entry level fixed gear bicycle that will work. Out of the box, this bike will perform just fine for the casual city cruiser or the eager weekend warrior. The (mostly) no-name components seem plenty capable of regular use for years to come. The wheels are a bit hefty (cartridge bearings are a nice touch) and will probably require regular truing, the drivetrain is smooth and quiet enough, the saddle will work, the frame is just as flexy, yet smooth as you’d expect from this steel, and the thing just looks damn good. I have chosen to replace/upgrade some of the components, not out of necessity, but simply because I enjoy wrenching on and nerding out on my bikes. I weighed many options in this price range and I’m glad I landed on this particular cycle. Be it a commuter, a project bike, or just an entry into the world of fixies, I’m sure you will not be disappointed. Pull the trigger. Get this neat, affordable bike. Be happy.

Still Undecided

I was super excited to finally get a State Bicycle. After receiving my bike I noticed both the seat tube and several spokes were damaged. My local bike shop was able to repair both and also discovered the stem was stripped. I ended up just replacing the whole stem. I was a little dissapointed with the customer service and receving a damaged product. I haven’t had much tiome to ride it yet, so I’m not 100% sure what I think yet. I think for the price it looks pretty cool. I’m pretty loyal to brands when I find one I like and was really hoping this would have been one of those brands for me. will update

Whoever welds your frames needs to be fired

I'm a welder so obviously that was the first thing I looked at when i got the bike. Almost every single weld on the bike has terrible undercut and not to mention who ever built the frame never even finished one of his welds. There's literally a tiny hole left that now water can get in and rust the frame if they didn't use stainless. Nice bike, TERRIBLE welder.

Family Issues Caused by SBC

There is beauty in simplicity and SBC's Core Line is one simple, stripped down bicycle beautifully put together. I love to keep it stock but my teenager daughter and I are taking turns riding this bike so I am replacing the seat post clamp to a quick-release one. We are bonding over this for our shared fun and joy riding this bicycle. My wife is insisting that I bought this for myself and not for our daughter but if the nagging doesn't stop i might have to get another one for my daughter again! And it might be the 4130 or the Black Label next time!

Ricky’s bike

I really enjoyed the bike however since it was my very first fixie there are still many questions I have about accessories recommended or tools needed. I wish there was a video made by state that went over the fundamentals of owning and riding a fixie such as do’s and don’ts of riding in the city or maintenance on the bike. That would be really neat and a great way to positively put the State brand out there to the public.

Sweet Ride for kicking around the city

I bought the Wulf as my daily commuter/kick around the city bike. First of all, the pictures don't do this bike justice. It just looks good.

As my first Fixie, it was and still is a bit of a challenge for me to get used too, coming from a geared roadie. But the bike is everything I expected and wanted. Sturdy and rugged to handle the Philadelphia street. Nimble enough for me to get through traffic. Solid enough for me to lock up outside and not worry about it. It looks great, in a very sleek and understated way, and feels good to ride.

Core-Line is a great introductory commuter bike

I just moved to Denver and this is my first city bike. I ride it daily to work about 2 miles both ways and it’s perfect for that commute. The reviews I have read suggest the seat is uncomfortable but I haven’t noticed that myself. It does everything I would want my bike to do and it’s sleek. I’ve received so many compliments on the matte black finish and the simple design. And it’s affordable. What’s not to like

Great for price

Bought this bike back in marh and have about 400 miles on the bike. Stock the bike is somewhat heavy but not the heaviest bike 58c weighs around 25ish lbs stock. I put different tires which dropped the weight drastically. The only "con" was having to get the lock ring tighten due to not having the tool but overall a great bike for the price.

Anthony Perry (Tempe, US)
Outstanding bicycle for the price

This bike is fantastic. It comes about 2/3 already assembled. You can set the rest up yourself or take it into a bike shop for them to assemble the rest of the bike for you. It rides really smooth on streets, sidewalks or even just up and down your driveway. This has been a really nice investment for myself and I'm constantly motivated to ride it before or after work.

would be 5 stars with more durable tires

I love everything about the bike, except for the tires. I use this for my commute to work/school, about 8 miles both ways, so I need it to be reliable. Unfortunately the tires it comes with have proven to be prone to flats. I ride on popular bike routes and I don't ride the bike very hard, but I have had three flats in the past couple months. Pretty new to bicycle commuting but I feel like that is a bit excessive. I am hoping that with the purchase of some different tires this discontinues. Sucks that I have to upgrade so soon.
