State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 Size Chart: Compare the Five Labels and the 59cm Conflict
The State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 size chart uses five centimetre labels, but a label is only the start of a fit enquiry. Its dated specification PDF and product page disagree on the upper rider-height recommendation for 59cm. Keep that discrepancy visible when comparing the published chart with a catalogue option.
Read the State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 size chart by source
The PDF lists 49, 52, 55, 59 and 62cm. These are the frame-size headings, not five measurements of one bicycle. The native Black & Tan listing uses those same five labels, accompanied by rider-height text. Matching the number does not establish that every recommendation beside it is identical.
For 49cm, the PDF pairs a height recommendation of 5ft5–5ft8 with an inseam range of 31.5–32.5 inches. For 55cm, it gives 5ft9–6ft0 and 32.5–33.5 inches. Keep height and inseam in separate columns: they describe different body measurements and cannot be substituted for each other.
The 59cm recommendation needs an explicit note
The PDF’s 59cm entry ends at 6ft2, beginning at 5ft11. Its inseam entry is 34–35 inches. The product page and the native option label instead extend the height range to 6ft3. Neither source explains why that endpoint differs, so this reference does not invent a revision history or select one as a personal fitting verdict.
The existing listing makes the mismatch practical: its 59cm option carries the longer height range. Read that label alongside the PDF rather than quietly merging them. The catalogue listing is State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 - Black & Tan - (8-Speed).
Use recommendations as questions for a fitting
State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 frame sizes should remain attached to their source and generation. An inseam recommendation is not a prescribed gap above the top tube, and a rider-height interval is not proof that a particular person can comfortably reach the controls. The historical Contender photograph cannot settle a Road v2 fit enquiry.
For family background beyond these size labels, use the established State material. State Bicycle Co. topic; existing State introduction.
