megaspin Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Alright Chaps,Basically the same as the title, I was wondering if anyone has the new 24Seven bike (Pitbull replica - i didn't say that). And I was wondering there views on it.If you do have it what was the first thing you changed? The bike intrigues me.Honest answers now..Cheers,Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_CRED_ Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Wow, It looks really nice. It looks a tiny bit like a pitbull The stickers look cool Anybody know the spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 24/7 dont distribute. just direct as far as i know. keeps it cheaper that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Darren (guy I ride with) has one, and it's a lovely bike.Changed the gearing by a tooth or so I think, and had a few problems with the rear wheel, although that was down to knocks rather than parts problems, so he now runs a Try-All on Profile (also just died )De-stickered it soon as he got it, then changed to a Magura Julie up front, which he absolutely loves!Few issues with the rear Maggie, but that's not to do with the bike as a whole, just something weird with his bleeds I believe All in all he completely loves the bike I think, and I know he'd recommend it, but as said before, it's complete only so if you are after just the frame you may have some problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 send 24seven a mail and ask if you can buy frame only... think you'll get one for about 300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) There you go a 'real' picture, seems like a good bike for the money. i like the horizontal drop outs, i don't know whether if it is the same geo as the pitbull.. but does it matter if it was?

adamtrials Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 24/7 dont distribute. just direct as far as i know. keeps it cheaper that way.Leisure lakes have them, Bigman saw a holroyd at the one in Wolverhampton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 There shit!!The gearing is way outThe bars are no good to you or beastThe rear hub blows up rapidlyNeed i say moreIt need a new hub thius being a profile mini or a mod hub with freewheel on there as it's 116mm spacingChange the bars, the stems okay but the bars aint.Grind the rim, Plaz, water bleed workingI've road one, it's harder than driving a Larder (old Russian tank ops sorry comen car, they weight over 2 metric ton!)

Luke Rainbird Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 blah blah blah blah i like screwing chickens blah blah blah... Pete, I'm assuming you're on aboout Darren's, which (other than what he's changed) is absolutely fine really.Rides quite nicely IMO, and I like the 116mm spacing/horizontal dropouts etcOh, and it's Lada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaspin Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hey Guys,Cheers for the imput from both sides. I do quite like the bike, it's the sort of thing I am after. A few reasons:I always run single speed as I can't stand rear mechs clatering about. + I thoroughly dislike hitting the mech on a side hop. As it's a single speed there is then no need for the wider hub. (It doesn't have to house a 9speed cassette or anything stupid and un-trialsly). However, I do hope that the standard hub is strong enough as I don't know how available narrow hubs may be... (should be OK mind, I'm only light)! I don't like chain tensioners much either, so I'm hoping Danny's got it right with it being a horizontal drop out.I've currently got an Orange Zero and I find it really short and thus feels heavy to pedal hop / lunge etc So I quite like the idea of a longer frame.With regards to the stem and bars, I'm afraid they'll probably be changed pretty quick!! - unless they surprise me. I am a huge fan of Azonic Double walls with a mid-sized stem.I hav ordered the Holroyd after doing a fair bit of research. I know the bike doesn't tick everyones wish list boxes. Although, it's the sort of geometry I was looking for in a bike with a nice spread of decent components.I'll give it a good ride and then post some honest opinions over what I think of it.Cheers everyone.Blessins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike425 Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Leisure lakes own 24seven i think, thats why they have them instock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 The rear spacing is the same as BMX which I believe is what Mods run, so hub choice isn't really limited as you have hubs from both sides there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserweight14 Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 My holroyd, changed a lot, gearing was a bit stiff so i got a 16 tooth super pro crank. its short in length and im quite tall so i got the biggest stem i could find surprisingly better. Only changed the wheels cos im stupid and like spending money, profile hub etc. p.s the grips are pretty cool, or were until i wore them down due to excessive use.down sides: the crank arms run really close to the magura, keep getting my trainer caught in between, peddles are dangourous shredded up the back of my legs.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
