ilikeriding Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I would imagine they ride just like an 05 pitbull as the frame looks identical, Id go for it, they were pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant H Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I would imagine they ride just like an 05 pitbull as the frame looks identical, Id go for it, they were pretty good they probably have different geo to the 05 pitbul so i doubt that it will ride the same.

basher Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I seem to remember the geo on these is quite nice, so i would say go for it. I believe it has 135 normal stock spaceing aswell even though it uses horizontal dropouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 They seem to not be liked much by people on here, but they are so rare that no-one could have ridden one hardly, I think its just because its a 24/7.I'd go for it, its a decent looking frame kit.

bowman12 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I seem to remember the geo on these is quite nice, so i would say go for it. I believe it has 135 normal stock spaceing aswell even though it uses horizontal dropouts.116mm spacing. They are a lush bike to ride. I rode one a few months ago when I was looking for a new stock to replace the Giant. Anyways, get one, they are well worth the £250 that they are advertised for.If you are currently riding a bike with 135mm rear spacing, you will need to buy a new rear hub. Maybe a profile or a King BMX hub. Alternetavly you could get a fixed hub and run a front freewheel. Then the shopping list grows a bit. You'd probably need new cranks, fixed hub and a front freewheel. The good thing about a front freewheel setup is that it's easier to replace the freewheel if it breaks. without having to buy another new hub and get it built up.Up to you really mate.

Alex.loves.boys Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I would imagine they ride just like an 05 pitbull as the frame looks identical, Id go for it, they were pretty good quite the oposite..they have a fair bit of bb rise i think?darrens rode yummy, heavy!but yummy, the heavynees was probaly from his spec though, his died, but he did put it through hell of a lot and i dont call him Big D for nothing..so yeahid reccomend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Brodie Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 personaly i think 24seven make some of the most gorgeous bikes going. i dont no if youve seen it or not but theres a guy who got one for his first trials bike its orange and it is beautiful and its amazing ect ect.! oh yh i almost forgot i went to a bike show up north and saw one there, im not sure bout the spec but i was lucky enough to have ago and it reli felt like a mod dont ask me why but acording to my perants i was so much smoother on it. it felt like a toy! i love them but then thats me Hope thats helped!take a look and make a note of the rides below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Can't find it on ebay, someone post a link up please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowman12 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 just reading the comment would i be better of getting a pitbullis it cheaper, stronger? The ZOO! Pitbull is most probably stronger but if you look at the price on the link, it is most definatly not cheaper. The Holroyd frame on Ebay is only £250 with BB, cranks, bars and stem. You may already have all this but you can sell the bits you don't want to get some money back Cool!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxis26 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 unfortunatly ive missed out on the ones on ebay but i got a price direct from 24 seven and its cheeper than ebay so i will be getting one an pics will be up as soon as its built as wellas a videocheers for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threesixty Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 My friend has the bike and did a review a while back, have a little read hereLinkagenothing wrong with the geo, the problem lies with the strength. it dents so easily, the metal is just to thin. the moment you hit it on anything, it will dent.

I guess that was what you were trying to say.They ride alright to be fair, i'll say it again, the geo is almost the same as a Control and look how popular they are/were.The reason i don't get on with mine is because it's too short. At a 1070ish wheelbase it would be ideal for most riders though. Edited September 20, 2007 by eskimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
