Haha this is just a rip off of a cheap catalogue frame.

Which I'm sure you could get at a fraction of the price of a One Ghost.

good call - how the hell did you find Tank Cycles?? it's not a rip-off though - that clearly IS a Tank frame, with only the dropouts changed slightly.

Someone else posted it on here a while ago on one of oneghosts pictures. He deleted the comment, which I think is bullshit and why I'm posting it elsewhere. People should know they're paying top dollar for a catalogue frame that you can probably get straight from the factory or something.

It was made for us by Tank Cycles, yes but our bike is not the same as theirs by any stretch of the imagination. It is VERY different from what they offer.

geo is way different. Pull up the tank cycles spreadsheet that is on their site and compare to the Ghost.

geometry, BB pivot, entire c-stay assembly, head tube, shock movement, dropouts. basically a totally different bike

Truffles? Smells more like sour grapes to me! One Ghost's website lists MSRP as $1498.99 with either an RPL or an RP23 shock. That's Transition Double price range and can hardly be called "top dollar" for a dual suspension jump frame these days. Look at your own bikes. That Subrosa of yours is a slightly modified catalog bike, did you buy that directly from the Chinese factory where it was made? I didn't think so.

yEAH, I saw that too.

Other full suspension dirt bikes don't have that!

looks like its 24" wheels, which will be why it looks longer.

flag oneghost (Oct 20, 2009 at 10:51)
they're 26. Small tires on it and a dark photo makes a difference there.

flag odin333 (Oct 21, 2009 at 10:47)
plus the chainstays are really long, so it looks like there is a gap (like what you get when you run 24" on a 26" bike.

flag hytrus93 (Oct 23, 2009 at 13:18)
they are 24" wheels. you can see a gap between front tire and fork brace. same thing between the rear tire and rear triangle.
