If you’ve followed my Twitter @JarodCapitalA or my Facebook PAGE , you’ve seen my talk, tweet, face about a company called STATE Bicycle Co... Even on this blog I’ve spoken about them, local to AZ, young dudes running it for 2 years and their knack for making a good valued bike with rad colors and just a cool brand…

I caught one for myself as an early Christmas gift + it this bike will be officially my wheels around the paddock of Formula Drift events for the 2012 season, hence the color way matches the Formula drift steez…

STATE BICYCLE CO just launched their official Fixed Gear Free Style aka FGFS in 2 colorways, the Cuplrit and the model I caught is the Suspect….

Headed to the STATE HQ for assembly…

Animal makes solid stuff for BMX and is applicable for Fixed as well…
These are the Hamilton pedals…
