It is a warm, saturated red that sits somewhere between vermilion and coral, and it is the finish for riders who have no interest in a bike that blends in. Worth noting for anyone commuting in northern winters: a bright frame is genuinely easier for drivers to pick out in low light than black or navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chassis underneath is the serious one. Double-butted 4130 chromoly, a redesigned wishbone rear clearing 38 mm tyres, fork and seat stay rack mounts, horizontal dropouts with integrated tensioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy double-butted chromoly matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButted tubing is thicker at the welds, where stress concentrates, and thinner in between, where it is not needed. You get a lighter frame with no loss of fatigue life, the reason chromoly is still chosen for bicycles expected to survive a decade of potholes. It also damps road buzz in a way aluminium does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt around 38 mm tyres\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the change that redefined the 4130. The wishbone rear and redesigned fork take 38 x 700c as standard, with clearance recommended up to 45c. At that width you stop routing around bad surfaces: gravel, cobbles and light trail all open up on the same bike you commute on. The rims are tubeless-compatible, though the supplied tyres are not tubeless-rated, so it ships with inner tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFixed or freewheel, and your choice of cockpit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sealed-bearing flip-flop hub carries a 16T freewheel and a fixed cog, and reversing the rear wheel switches between them. Two builds at the same price: All-Road flared gravel drops for a lower position and more control on loose ground, or wide riser bars for an upright city stance. Long-reach caliper brakes front and rear on both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e double-butted 4130 chromoly steel, TIG welded, wishbone rear, seat stay rack mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4130 chromoly with eyelet mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDropouts:\u003c\/strong\u003e horizontal, with integrated chain tensioners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheelset:\u003c\/strong\u003e All-Road (Track) wheelset, tubeless-compatible rims, drilled 40 mm high-flange sealed-bearing hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTyres:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38 x 700c (not tubeless-rated); maximum recommended 45c\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub:\u003c\/strong\u003e flip-flop, 16T freewheel and 16T fixed cog included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset:\u003c\/strong\u003e forged steel, 130 BCD, 170 mm arms, 46T chainring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGear ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46 x 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandlebars:\u003c\/strong\u003e All-Road flared gravel drops or wide riser bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e long-reach caliper brakes, front and rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePedals:\u003c\/strong\u003e included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46, 49, 52, 55, 59, 62 cm, fitting riders from 160 cm to 201 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 kg (55 cm frame with riser bars)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years on the frame, 1 year on non-consumable parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich frame size should I choose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix sizes cover 160 cm to 201 cm of rider height: 46 cm suits about 160 to 168 cm, 49 cm 165 to 173 cm, 52 cm 170 to 178 cm, 55 cm 175 to 183 cm, 59 cm 180 to 191 cm and 62 cm 188 to 201 cm. Reach matters more than standover here because the position is lower than a Core-Line, so it is worth checking rather than guessing. Send your height and inside leg measurement to L'Hirondelle Bike Shop in Meppel and we will confirm the right frame before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is the bike delivered, and does it arrive assembled?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt ships directly from State Bicycle Co.'s European warehouse to your address, around 90 percent assembled. The final setup, meaning handlebars, front wheel, pedals, saddle height and brake and drivetrain adjustment, must be completed by a qualified mechanic before the first ride. Any bike shop can do this in under an hour. If you are near Meppel, we can build it for you at L'Hirondelle Bike Shop by appointment. Contact us before ordering and we will arrange it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does the 5-year warranty cover, and what do I need to keep?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive years on the frame against manufacturing defects, one year on non-consumable parts. Wear items such as tyres, pads, cables, chain and grips are excluded. Important: State Bicycle Co. requires proof of professional assembly for the warranty to be valid, so keep the invoice from whoever builds the bike. That document is what supports any future claim, and a claim can be refused without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill a red frame fade?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReds are the pigments most affected by prolonged UV exposure, more so than blacks or greens. In practice a bike stored indoors and ridden daily will hold its colour for years, while one left parked outside through several summers will dull slightly. If the bike lives on a balcony or in a yard, a cover is a worthwhile precaution, not because the paint is fragile but because red is the one colour where the difference eventually shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I actually run it tubeless?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rims are tubeless-compatible but the supplied 38 mm tyres are not tubeless-rated, so it ships with inner tubes. Converting means tubeless-ready tyres, valves and sealant, a straightforward job for any bike shop and one we can do by appointment in Meppel. Worth doing if you ride gravel regularly, unnecessary if you stay on tarmac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is this different from a Core-Line?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubstantially. The Core-Line is plain steel with 28 mm tyres and a 44 x 16 ratio, built to a price. The 4130 is double-butted chromoly with 38 mm clearance, a 46 x 16 ratio, better hubs and a lighter frame. The Core-Line is a city bike, the 4130 leaves the tarmac. The price gap reflects material and capability, not finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I fit a rack and mudguards?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Fork eyelets and seat stay rack mounts are standard, and clearance is genuinely generous compared with the Core-Line, so full mudguards over 38 mm tyres fit without the usual compromises. It is worth having them fitted at the same time as the initial build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere are these bikes made?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eState Bicycle Co. designs its bikes in Tempe, Arizona. Frames are manufactured in Asia to the brand's specification. The 4130 line runs in limited production per colourway and is retired once stock is gone, so a given finish does not come back. European stock is distributed from State Bicycle Co.'s EU warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State Bicycle Co.","offers":[{"title":"Wide Riser \/ 46 cm","offer_id":54833705222485,"sku":"731416166782","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wide Riser \/ 49 cm","offer_id":54833705255253,"sku":"731416166737","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wide Riser \/ 52 cm","offer_id":54833705288021,"sku":"731416166744","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wide Riser \/ 55 cm","offer_id":54833705320789,"sku":"731416166751","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wide Riser \/ 59 cm","offer_id":54833705353557,"sku":"731416166768","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wide Riser \/ 62 cm","offer_id":54833705386325,"sku":"731416166775","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"All-Road Drop \/ 46 cm","offer_id":54833705419093,"sku":"796201652369","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"All-Road Drop \/ 49 cm","offer_id":54833705451861,"sku":"796201652376","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"All-Road Drop \/ 52 cm","offer_id":54833705484629,"sku":"796201652383","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"All-Road Drop \/ 55 cm","offer_id":54833705517397,"sku":"796201652437","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"All-Road Drop \/ 59 cm","offer_id":54833705550165,"sku":"796201651423","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"All-Road Drop \/ 62 cm","offer_id":54833705582933,"sku":"726872054551","price":629.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/9387\/9893\/files\/StateBicycleCo-4130-TropicalRed_FixedGear_Single-Speed_-2.jpg?v=1788528429","url":"https:\/\/hirondellebikeshop.com\/nl\/products\/state-bicycle-4130-tropical-red-fixed-gear-bike","provider":"Hirondelle Bike Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
