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.

Thoughts pleased

they're heavy bargain barrel straight gauge 4130 frames. not bad but not great either.

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

They're budget frames, made of metal, probably won't explode.

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.

thanks, I think I will pass and keep on searching for a frame.

Wow, that sounds terrific! So you sent back three... hmmm. Did you get a fourth? ...or did you get your money back?

I quit trying after three. ;)

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.

You have notable fortitude. Most people would have quit after 2!
