just ordered a saint 24, I had such a great time on my eastern 24 when i was in high school, I love pump tracks and small dirt jumps, just the flow of it. the 24 inch is perfect!!! I hope it will really liven up my regular road biking.
Wow, this is exactly what I want. After buying an expensive full suspension mtb I want another bike to bomb around on. My 13 year old 26er mtb is like 36 lbs and not playful. A bmx cruiser seems like the sweet spot between the two.
@@danscompvideos I'm also looking at a 29" after about 20 years off a bike. I also have osteoarthritis so I'm never going to be doing anything too amazing but want something to get about on. Looking at the Stolen Max or Cult Devotion 29 and also a WTP Avenger 27.5 if I can find one for sale anywhere!
I've got a fitbikeco 26 Aiken as well. I just bought 10 inch chrome handlebars to go on it. I will probably put some Vans grips on it and call it good. 👌🏾
what about the WTP Avenger 27 inch, would it be possible to jump around in that one as well, or is the geometry too off from the BMX to do so, or perhaps is a good compromise of cruiser and and still a lively bike to go a bit off from the normal city bike lanes and jump around on? what you think?
glad you pointed out the toe buzz on the front tire. im 32 and 6'2" looking to pick bmx back up, im gonna have to decide between a 22 and a 24 now. i already have a road bike and a MTB so id like something that fits well and flicks ez
same height, about to be 30 just got into bikes again. Just picked up a saint 24, good fun, only ridden in park once. playful enough, my other bike is a Jeffsy. Feeling like the bike handling skills learned on each, help the other.
Nice bike, I was looking at the 26 Stolen and the 29 Sunday. And with the hard to get Bikes/Covid situation. 2 weeks ago walking past a bike store in the CBD, in there front window were 2 Big Flyer’s and a High C. A little haggling and 1 hour latter rode out with the Sunday.
I love my 24" Sunday. Got it at the beginning of lockdown. I always rode 20 but felt foolish and like it was too small. I'm 6'7" so i look like I'm on a damn mini lol. But the 24 felt right. The only negative is the toe drag on spins or harsh turns. Which can be scary lol but i was glad the vid was 100% accurate on that
Nice bike. Really enjoy all my stolen products on my 20". I am in much better shape health wise and feeling confident on the parts while out riding is key. Good luck with ankle injury.
Hey, as far as sizing, how tall are you? I'm 5'10", but none of my local shops have 26 inches in stock so I can't ride one. Just want to get some perspective to see if I'd be cramped on a 26 inch. 29 inch felt too bulky!
I'm 5'9" and actually have the bars angled a little back so you should be fine on the Zeke or another 26" cruiser with a similar 22.25" toptube. Hope that helps!
What seat did you swap too ? I just ordered one and I'm sure the railed seat may hold up but I'm no fan of them . I'm sure many posts and seats swap or seeing this a year later is it a change from stolen bikes ?
At the time that was the factory seat, but I do see now it has been changed in our photos and website specs. This isn't just Stolen bikes, though. Many companies had to change seats this year due to manufacturing delays at Velo, the company that produces Pivotal seats.
It's pretty strong out of the box. Full chromoly parts, double-wall rims, sealed bearings, etc. Easily mid 200s and up to 300 if you're not taking it off anything crazy.
@@captainhook8138 A stronger chain would be recommended. At minimum go with something like a KMC 510 style chain. If you want the strongest possible, a Shadow Interlock Supreme.
Man you can ride pretty good,the bike fits you well..I Ben thinking hard on getting one,24,26,27,29,I'm 5ft 9. 200 lbs ,don't know how they feel,I don't live by a bike shop,so I have to order one,and I'm thinking the red line 275 29in
BMX seats in general are not the most comfortable as most riders don't sit to pedal. On a cruiser I can definitely see it being more of an issue. Even the "fat padded" BMX seats are pretty stiff. The good thing is they are easy to swap out and fairly inexpensive if you find something you like better. If you're doing long rides sitting down it might be better to get a slim road bike seat.
@@danscompvideos i rode a 63 schwinn 26 inch springer "granny bike" and i had a two speed kick back hub laced up to a rhinolite tubular rim the bike cost 5 bucks the back rim was 300 bucks and i could ride it in a circle on one wheel and only way i did it depended on that rim a seat post a front wheel that had no lube in bearings cause even oil has resistance could hear the bearings falling over axel and i had same front wheel while untill i had that rim built i had smoked 20+ back rims and peddled the teeth off 9 front sprockets n miles of chains and the reason i rode that bike was i could throw it down any where and it would be there when i came back cause no one wanted to be seen riding on it . but i never rode a 20 inch bike ever before a month ago and im 55 yrs old funny shit hu its been an experience to say the least cool bike just think it could use some improvement in design relative to power to road over the whole ride not free style per se each design has its pro and con but their all fun to try i learned how to ride a wheelie in a circle by getting on road when a semi truck came by i would lean in behind em on one wheel n it sucks ya on around n in better be shiftin n peddling its the biggest rush i ever caught rideing one and truely fly on a bike n i flew one for 50 of them years and hope you fly yours as long too if you are just rideing one try to fly it youll see its diferent in a cool way is all i can say and keep on peddlin it keeps ya young

You'll love it. I still ride the 26" around town often. It's nice being able to jump things with relative ease when I want to. - Mike
I just got my first cruiser this past father's day and it's my favorite bike now by far, it's a 2021 om flyer retro.
Just copped this purple frame kit. No completes left right now in this deep purple so I’m just building one slowly. Can’t wait!
Nice! You won't be disappointed.
They have some at The House website

Follow-up: I bought a Fairdale Taj 27.5 cruiser, and I absolutely love it.
Just ordered one and not a lot of videos on the Zeke. Guess I’ll watch this one again
That was a fun bike. I need to pick one up. Great video man.
I am gonna be practicing my 180s to get my 360s going again. Its been over 20 years. I went with the looptail from DK Legend 26 THANKS DANS COMP

Between the Stolen Zeke and Colony Eclipse both 26” which would you recommend? Mainly for cruisin and the occasional wheelie. Thanks
Cruisers are so fun

Thank you! About 80% there I'd say. Stolen makes some good stuff.
Just got mine yesterday so far so good
Enjoy it!
Would you say 26” wheel or 24” for a 5’6 rider
Is this a good bike for racing BMX cruiser class as a beginner adult?
Why such a small chain ring? My Fitbikeco Aiken is the same way.

How much weight can this bike take? I’m a Norwegian and I’m wondering if I’m just gonna snap this thing in half.

Would I need a stronger chain? I broke the chain on my old Subrosa Sono 2 times. That was back when I weighed 280.

The 29" will be a little less agile but smoother all around. It really depends on what you're wanting to do with it.

why is the seat a joke on these bikes i built mine with seat bar long enough to sit n peddle it at same time if i had to ride that bike ide walk first
