Celebrate 20 years of infectious Wu-Tang rhymes with a $600 fixed-gear bicycle

The State Bicycle Co., in collaboration with rap legends the Wu-Tang Clan, are offering a limited-edition fixed-gear bicycle in order to celebrate two decades of killer rap music. The cost of the “Wu Tang 20th Anniversary Ltd. Edition Bike” is $599–this is a limited-run pre-order, so if you want one, you’d better act now. The bicycles will ship in early November.

Some PR flapdoodle about the bike:

Wu-Tang, widely considered to be among the greatest hip-hop groups of all time, is collaborating with Tempe-based bicycle company State Bicycle Co. to release a line of custom-outfitted fixed gear and single speed road bikes to commemorate the Wu’s 20th year of bringing the ruckus and shaping urban street culture.

The State Bicycle Co. Wu-Tang Brand 20th Anniversary Ltd. Edition Bike is tastefully branded with Wu-Tang imagery from bars to bracket. An engraved Wu-Tang branded stem holds a set of bullhorn handlebars atop a boldly painted chromoly TIG-welded frame, all of which feature the unmistakable markings of the Wu.

State Bicycle Co.’s influence on Arizona’s urban cycling culture has been incalculable. The majority of fixed-gear riders on Arizona State University campus can be seen riding a State bicycle around the city of Tempe. When it comes to mobilizing street culture Wu-Tang sets the standard for success and his is how State Bicycle Co. pays tribute to the legends.

Here’s a picture of Raekwon carrying a bicycle. I love this picture–I live in Staten Island and Wu-Tang Clan are all Staten Island heroes and the bike’s got “STATEN ISLAND” stamped on it and Raekwon’s all “Yo, you can suck it” and I found this picture on a page announcing a Sandy benefit and … I could go on.

Seems like a good moment to link to the engaging vitality of the Clan’s first single, “Protect Ya Neck”:
