State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 Frame: Identify the Road Build and Its Two Bottle Mounts

A State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 frame enquiry needs the complete Road v2 identity, not the number 4130 alone. The published frame and fork entries describe a geared road build, two water bottle mounts and threadless steering components. Keep those details attached to their document rather than transferring another State family’s equipment.

Identify the State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 frame

The PDF describes double-butted, TIG-welded 4130 chromoly steel. The product page uses the same frame description. These are the manufacturer’s material and construction labels, not a test of an individual frame’s condition, a repair assessment or evidence that every State bicycle with a 4130 name is the same platform.

Road v2 is part of the identity. State’s existing brand introduction covers several differently named families, so shortening a query to “State 4130 frame” can leave the intended bicycle unclear. Keep the model version and actual bicycle identification available when asking which drawing or component record applies.

Read the bottle-mount statement literally

The frame section lists two water bottle mounts. It does not turn those mounts into rack fittings or supply a carrying-load rating. A count in the frame record therefore should not become a claim about an entire luggage system or permission to attach an unrelated accessory.

The native listing provides a concrete Black & Tan Road v2 reference. Its title distinguishes the model used here from a fixed-gear build or an All-Road variation. The catalogue listing is State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 - Black & Tan - (8-Speed).

Keep fork, headset and hub fields separate

The State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 chromoly fork entry specifies a 1-1/8-inch threadless steerer. The headset is separately listed as 1-1/8-inch threadless. Matching wording in those two entries describes the published build; it is not a complete approval for a different fork or steering assembly.

The detailed hub record gives sealed bearings, 100mm front and 130mm rear spacing, with quick-release levers. These are wheel-interface entries, not measurements of the steerer. The overview’s front-spacing text prints “100m”, whereas the detailed record explicitly gives 100mm; retain the original typo without treating it as a hundred-metre dimension.

The photographed Contender owner bicycle is separate historical context. Its silver finish, fork lettering or visible equipment does not establish this Road v2 frame’s material, current specification or model year.

For the broader family distinctions behind this identification question, consult the existing State material. State Bicycle Co. topic; existing State introduction.
