I guess the whole idea behind this is instead of getting rid of my bike to upgrade for a new one, I'd hold onto this frame and keep upgrading it as I went along in life. This is my second State frame of this model — the first one had lasted me a good 4,000 miles before I had accidentally destroyed the drop-outs in a freak accident. The second frame that you see now is almost exactly the same, with the exception that it has the additional water bottle eyelets and is olive drab. I had a "Bike of Theseus" moment, transferring the old parts onto the new frame.
I love this bike a ton. Hope to still be riding it in 30 years. Maybe many, many more.

not that you necessarily asked but : that fender line. i know it has track ends and it’s necessary to remove the rear wheel but it’s an eye sore.
i’d also put the quick release on the other side of the wheel, it’s visually cleaner.
finally, i don’t love those sharp fender stays sticking out so much and not capped. they can for sure be straightened out, cut, and capped.
