State Bicycle Company Klunker, "Chainsaw", with strategic upgrades
Thomson SP/stem
Mone "meal replacement bar" moto bars, Jones Kraton bar grips
Brooks B67 boinger saddle
Wellgo flats
Custom frame bag from a bloke on Etsy
42:22 gearing, 54 gear inches, good SS gearing for me
I am astonished by how comfortable and capable a $400 bike can be - Basic, but not cheap. The upgrades easily doubled the price, but the bars and saddle make this an all-day sucker, and I'd like to ride a century this summer on this bike. The 650b wheels are a nice size. The stock KT coaster feels a bit janky, with strange cracks and too much back-pedal. Planning to rebuild wheels with better front hub, NOS Bendix coaster.
