State Bicycle Revamps Their Iconic 6061 Black Label Line

For The Purist Looking For a Beautiful Street Machine To Navigate The Urban Terrain

September, 2017 ‘” TEMPE, AZ – State Bicycle Co. – www.statebicycle.com, the mainstay of the fixed gear/single speed bike market, give the well-crafted 6061 Black Label line a complete upgrade, which includes new colorways, modern updates to the frame, and improved components – all wrapped up in a contemporary and tasteful street machine.

The Black Label V2 6061 Aluminium double butted frame features a new tapered headtube paired with a newly designed full-carbon fork from Essor, adding stiffness and responsiveness, for a quicker, lighter feel. The full build offers a complete component overhaul, which starts with a lighter wheelset with sealed bearing hubs and finishes with a fully CNC‘d Track Crank & 48t Chain Ring with a versatile 144BCD, allowing owners of Black Label to mix and match their crank with top aftermarket chainrings.

Like the construction, the new paint is sublime: featuring the iconic Matte Black, Raw, Army Green, and Purple colorways. The new build comes with a handlebar option of either oversized compact drop bars or wide mountain style riser bar, a flip-flop hub that makes it simple to switch between fixed gear and single speed variations. The V2 also includes water bottle mounts, a feature rarely seen on track bikes for those riders who find themselves on longer rides on the road.

State Bicycle Co. works constantly behind the scenes to deliver the best possible bikes at a value. The new 6061 Black Label line is State Bicycle Co.‘s most coveted line and the perfect tool for navigating the streets.
