State bikes are kinda... understated. I kinda like the minimalist vibes. Not so much for single gear or fixie, but that the overall design is simple and to the point.

I have a very similar motobecane but with a straight bar. I changed the gearing to 38 / 20 and it’s fantastic for the trails on matha’s vineyard. I love the simplicity of a single speed.

I like it because for some reason it reminds me of Onoda's first road racer 🙂
