Video Discription |
Quite a while back I did a full component breakdown of the State Bicycle Company Black Label V2. This is a 6061 aluminum fixed gear or fixie bike whichever you prefer. I've been racing this aluminum race machine at the velodrome every week and honestly, I love the bike overall.
Initially, I started with the bike almost 100% stock aside from the saddle and of course the rear gearing. After a while though, I managed to slap a ton of upgrades on this thing to get it completely velodrome ready and to prepare myself to go toe to toe with some of the big dogs on more expensive track bikes.
Personally, I think at this price point the State Black Label with a little bit of TLC can be an awesome bike for track racing overall. While most would think of this as a commuter fixie or more of a city bike, I've managed to do pretty well on it, aside from in a 3K individual pursuit, but that's besides the point.
I hope you enjoy this update on the State Black Label and all the awesome upgrades I've made to it over the last few months. The addition of a Zipp SL 130mm Stem, some 3T Scatto handlebars, and a knock off carbon race wheelset I absolutely love the new setup on this bike.
Don't forget the drive train updates with the Affinity chainrings and dura ace rear cogs.
Let me know what you think of the setup overall in the comments. Would you buy at this price point to race or would you go for something that will last you once your capabilities on the track increase?
