State, Pure Fix, etc. bikes do serve a purpose. They get people on bikes inexpensively and most times, those people will eventually end up realizing they want something better and ultimately be riding a higher-quality bike with better parts if they stick with riding. While State is making an effort to produce better bikes than many of their competitors at that price point, there are countless reason why my shop would rather not do business with them or promote their products - the majority of which nobody at the consumer level will relate to or care about.

I'm taking the high road here and will opt to not air a bunch of dirty laundry on a public forum regarding State and their practices but I will openly say that Vincent Shim and Unknown Bikes can eat several super-sized bags of greasy dicks. If you're reading this, Vinnie (I know you love lurking), do yourself a favor and don't ever step foot into my shop again.
