It's a 24/7 obviously. Let's not even begin on the state of the wall and floor 🙄

No sign of a model name though and there doesn't seem to be a 24/7 website anymore.

Can anyone supply any further details?

Looking to sell it to be honest, I bought the frame for the forks that were attached to it.

Also that headtube has an internal headset in the second picture, I guess I still need some cups (that I don't have) to make it work. What are my options? New headset?

Looks like a deviant?

Edit: maybe not it had a bolt through rear.

That one has no V brake bosses is the only difference I can see.

Hmm true, the one in the more dirt pic looks like a 24"er whereas the one I have is 26". Similarities but the dropout area looks a bit different too.

If I recall correctly the original one was designed to run 24" or 26" inch rear wheels. It definitely had a huge bolt through rear axle like something off a traction engine though.

Oh another difference, no bolt through on this one.

Hmm looks like a deviant with a difference 😆

I think it's a 24 seven crosser. I think they might have done two versions of it. I would get in contact with 24 seven if they are still going. Small company, very helpful and very customer focused, they would probably help to identify it for you.

I bought a steel SS frame from them once. As above, really helpful people. Shame if they have gone.

Bingo. Yep everything matches up. Thanks all.

wysiwyg - I have just been downstairs to check for tampering, I had as little faith myself.

I remember 24/7 from back in the day, I have an old T-shirt somewhere in the draw. Looks like their website has moved since I saved it in my favourites, pleased to see they are still trading, remember the Dark Angel being something of a pioneer frame.

Now any tips on that headset....

24Seven for a short while churned out some real rubbish - a number of things were these rebadged catalgue frames and sold as 'freeride' rigs. Some IIRC even came with horizontal dropouts. Anyway, its one of those. Came as a full bike only I think but then the bare frames started appeared here and there for not much money, certainly sub £200.

I remember their old Chris Gack built original Dark Angel frame - awesome...
