State Bicycle Co. x Liquid Death - 6061 Black Label v3
☠ Murder Your Thirst, Then the Group Ride ☠
☠ $666 Trick or Treat — Halloween Day Only
Saturday, October 31 only. You pick the size, we pick the color — then the price goes back to $899.99.
The 6061 Black Label v3 in two colorways it has never worn: 24 Karat Casket and Scary Strawberry.
current price, $666.00
Murder your thirst. Then murder the group ride. The 6061 Black Label v3 in a full Liquid Death collaboration — two colorways, dripping-skull artwork across the top tube, and a black carbon fork that fades into the frame color.
This is not a decal on a stock bike. It's the v3 we build all year, painted two ways it has never been painted, as part of a collection that runs from the frameset to the cap on your head.
Trick or Treat. One day only. The $666 price runs on Halloween and that is it.
On Halloween, this bike is $666 with one catch: you pick the size, we pick the color. Choose “Trick Or Treat” as your colorway, pick your size, and find out which one you got when the box opens.
- One day only. Saturday, October 31. After that the price goes back to $899.99.
- You pick the size. Normal size selection, no surprises there.
- We pick the colorway. Both are the same bike with the same spec. The only mystery is the paint.
- All sales final on colorway. No color exchanges, no swaps.
$666 against $899.99. You save $233.99. And yes, the price is the joke.
Two colorways
Two ways to go out, or let us decide. Same bike underneath — the paint is the whole argument:
Black into gold. Gold-outlined wordmark, the skull in gold across the top tube, and enough shine on it to look like it was buried with somebody important.
Hot pink into black, with the same skull artwork and the wordmark in white. Sweet right up until it isn't.
Both share the same treatment: a black carbon fork with a fade into the frame color and a skull-and-crossbones crown detail, black deep-section wheels, black cockpit, the dripping-skull artwork across the top tube, and the State wordmark running full-length down the down tube in white.
Same frame, same spec, same price. Neither one is the "better" bike — pick the paint you want to look at.
What's underneath the paint
Lightweight 6061 double-butted aluminum with a tapered head tube and a full carbon fork and steerer. Stiff where you want it, and light enough to carry up a flight of stairs without resenting it.
Clearance for 38c and beyond. The v3 frame and the 19mm internal-width wheels take far more rubber than a track bike traditionally does — smooth tarmac, chewed-up city streets, a bit of tracklocross if that's your evening. It ships on Vittoria 30c tires, which is the sensible middle.
48x17, with unlimited skid patches. The ratio that balances a city's stop-and-go against actually getting somewhere, on a CNC'd 144 BCD chainring and crank that lets you change your mind later.
Internal cable routing keeps the lines out of the weather and off the frame, and front and rear caliper brakes are included — fit them or don't, it's your bike and your flip-flop hub.
The cockpit
Black throughout, to let the frame do the talking. The stem is a 31.8mm oversized clamp with a 90mm extension, on a 27.2mm post and a premium aerodynamic race saddle.
Sizing
- 49cm — riders 5'1" – 5'5"
- 52cm — riders 5'4" – 5'9"
- 55cm — riders 5'8" – 5'11"
- 58cm — riders 5'10" – 6'2"
- 61cm — riders 6'1" – 6'5"
Sizes overlap. If you're between two, the smaller is more nimble and the larger stretches you out. Full numbers are on our geometry chart.

FAQ
Rider-owned in Phoenix, AZ since 2009. 5-year frame warranty on steel, aluminum & titanium · most in-stock bikes ship in 1 business day · 4.8/5 from 16,000+ reviews.
How does my bike show up, and do I need a shop?
That depends on how you order it:
- With Pro-Build (select models: $79.99, or $129.99 on Carbon Road). Our mechanics in Phoenix face the frame, set up and bleed the hydraulic brakes, index the drivetrain, cut the steerer to our stock length and torque-check everything before it goes in the box. That's the shop work that usually runs $150–$300 locally. You bolt on the bars, seatpost, front wheel and pedals, set your hoods and wrap your tape: about 20–30 minutes with a hex set and a torque wrench. Pro-Build adds a 1–2 week build queue.
- Without Pro-Build. Your bike ships mostly assembled, but it needs a full assembly and tune by a professional mechanic before it's ride-ready. Carbon, titanium and AXS builds that skip Pro-Build arrive unassembled with an uncut steerer, so your shop can build them to your exact fit.
Either way, a professional build is safer, rides better, and unlocks our better warranty tier (see below).
What does the warranty cover?
Every State bike comes with our Standard Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects for the original owner. No registration required.
- Steel, aluminum & titanium frames and forks: 5 years
- Carbon frames and forks: 1 year (2 years with ProBuild Advantage)
- Non-consumable parts (cranks, wheels, hubs, bars, stem, seatpost, pedals): 1 year
Not covered: wear items (tires, tubes, chains, brake pads, grips, bar tape, saddles, spokes, paint), rust on RAW finishes, crash damage, and labor or shipping costs. Full warranty details
What is ProBuild Advantage, and how do I get it?
It's our "you did it right" warranty tier for bikes that were professionally assembled and registered within 30 days of delivery. You get everything in the Standard warranty, plus:
- 2 years on carbon frames and forks, instead of 1
- Priority claim review: ProBuild claims go to the front of the line
- Faster help with shifting or braking issues, without the "did you tighten that bolt?" back-and-forth
- Shipping perks on approved warranty replacement parts
- Discounted pricing on a replacement frame or bike for up to 5 years from delivery, if a crash wins
To activate it: add Pro-Build when you order, or have a local shop assemble your bike and keep the receipt. Then register your bike within 30 days of delivery with your serial number (engraved under the bottom bracket shell) and proof of assembly. If you ordered Pro-Build, our mechanics already did the build. You just register.
When will my bike ship?
Most in-stock bikes ship within 1 business day, and you'll get tracking as soon as yours is on its way. Adding Pro-Build puts your bike in our build queue for 1–2 weeks before it ships. Shipping is calculated at checkout from your location and the size of your order, and bikes go out by UPS or FedEx Ground.
Outside the U.S.? We ship worldwide, and duties and taxes are paid at checkout, so nothing is due on delivery. Shipping policy
What if it's not right? Returns & exchanges
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return or exchange. Bikes need to be unused, in like-new condition and in their original packaging.
- Refunds: a return label fee is deducted ($45 for complete bikes), and original shipping isn't refundable.
- Exchanges: issued as store credit. The return label fee applies here too.
- Package Protection Plan (add it at checkout): covers loss and damage in transit, removes return label fees and deductions, and extends the window for exchanges and store credit to 60 days. Refunds stay at 30 days.
Pro-Build and other service work can't be refunded once it's done. Final sale, clearance and limited-run items can't be returned, and neither can international orders.
Can I pay over time, or use HSA/FSA funds?
Yes. Financing with Bread Pay splits your bike into monthly payments, and you can pay it off early with no penalty (subject to credit approval). You may also be able to use pre-tax HSA/FSA dollars through Truemed. A short intake at checkout checks your eligibility, which depends on your plan. HSA/FSA guide
Which size do I need?
Geometry charts, size guides and full build specs for every model are on our Size Charts & Specs page. Between sizes, or running a tall stack or long stem? Get in touch before you order. Pro-Build cuts the steerer to our stock length, and that can't be undone.
Can I see one in person or get it built locally?
Use our dealer & shop locator to find a shop near you for a look in person, assembly or a tune-up.
Something arrived damaged or missing?
Email info@statebicycle.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the item, the box damage and the shipping label, and our team will take care of you. If a part has failed, submit a warranty claim. You can also reach us at 1-855-55-STATE or through our contact page.
