Everything always seems that way and I just want to ask is this one of those times?
State Bicycle Co. Prices...
Are their bikes any good or is their a reason they're that price.
I was wanting to buy a cotic roadrat and building it up. Help Please.

Look ok to me, however they seem to have forgotten to install brakes.

They say they do come with brakes and pedals - they just photograph them without cos it looks cooler...

seem quite good deals, especially if you go for one of the clearance models. Free postage too.

No contact address on the website that I can find, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

Theres no information about any of the components. Could be a great bargain, or could be a cheapo bike painted some fancy colours to be sold to the fixie crowd at a massive mark up.

I'd look out for a Specialized Langster or something in the sale.

Langsters can be had for £350 new, alu frames, carbon forks, and a local dealer you can winge at if it doesn't work, why buy anything else*?

*Ia cceptt hat langsters have got worse looking with each passing year, why can't they just stick the paint job from a tarmac or just about anything else in the spesh range on it?
