Revamping the Retro Ride: State Bicycle Co. x Free & Easy 2024 Collection

State Bicycle Co. and Free & Easy have unveiled the latest addition to their collaboration—a revamped version of the iconic Klunker bicycle, accompanied by an exclusive frame bag and custom grips. This limited edition release encapsulates the essence of California lifestyle, blending retro aesthetics with modern functionality for riders of all levels.

Inspired by the surf, skate, and bicycle culture of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Klunker pays homage to the original days of custom cruisers. Kevin Circosta, founder of Free & Easy, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the seamless partnership between the two brands.

“Our collaboration with SBC has been seamless, from initial ideation all the way through development and final production,” he said.

The Klunker, a beautiful fusion of part beach cruiser, part mountain bike, and part BMX, is designed for carefree cruising, whether it’s neighborhood strolls, quick trips to the corner store, or adventurous trail rides. With its durable steel frame, BMX-style V-bar, and retro-style leatherette comfort saddle, the Klunker offers both style and substance. Plus, the exclusive “Don’t Trip” embossed grips add a touch of personality to every ride.

In addition to the revamped Klunker, State Bicycle Co. introduces its first kids’ bike—a balance bike tailored for children aged 0-3. This mini version of the Klunker comes with DIY decal stickers, allowing kids to personalize their ride and embark on their cycling journey from an early age.
