Frame question new to ss
Are state bicycle frames ok? They have a Simpsons tribute frame paint job that i love. I am wanting to order the frame/forks only for now and build the rest later but don't know much about them. Frame is $200. Complete bike is $500. Wanting a project so though this might be a good start. Was thinking used but after seeing this I don't know now.

According to the State website, the Simpsons frames are double-butted.

The three I got (and sent back) were visibly crooked. Not damaged, but welded together crooked. Pretty badly too. The paint was thin, weak, soft, and had runs. Like fingernail soft.

Their customer service was excellent and took care of me immediately. But their warehouse made a number of shipping errors and the frames were iffy, at best.
