Scrapyard State – $468* Parts-bin Winter Beater Build

Snagged a scratch & dent “Warehouse Deal” State 4130 All-Road frameset (incl seatpost clamp, thru-axles, derailleur hanger, and headset) for $256, then built it up mostly with stuff from the parts-bin.

Bought a few things off eBay for a few bucks more, and I’ve got a whole-ass winter beater with infinite capability for a mere $468* outlay (I’m counting parts bin items as free, don’t @ me).
