Nothing! Ride it until you feel something missing. There’s no need to immediately upgrade if you barely had time on it. (maybe a back brake)
Ride it for 200km (not in one ride) and you’ll start to know what things you want to change. Usually first things to go are saddle, stem and pedals.
If you are going fixed gear make sure to get straps
It’s got a flip flop hub so all you gotta do is flip the wheel and it’s fixed, just fyi in case you didn’t know. I agree with ride it until you break stuff or start to figure out what you need. Saddle is always a good start , pedals can come next, tires, etc. What you’ve got will get the job done until you figure out your preference. I have a State 4130 I’ve slowly swapped parts out over the years once they break or whatever. Don’t be afraid to hit up their support when it comes to finding parts. They’re good about answering questions and if they don’t have what you need they’re cool about sending you to other places. I learned a lot of the basics and what will fit from those guys.
Nice did u use riser bar brake levers or did u had to get new ones
