Phantom Ghost Kit

Very Nice Clean Build!

That's the Grubee 4G with 20/80 pulleys and the 80T freewheels correct?
I really like the transfer case.

You do very nice work sir.

Mine has 20T driver pulley, 100T driven pulley, 12T output socket and a 48T wheel sprocket with a chain drive ratio of 1 to 4.0.

The 12T is a freewheel sprocket then correct?
If or when it fails, it happens with little freewheels like that, just hit the seam with a couple of tack welds to get you going again.
It won't be near as friendly to pedal with the engine off as you have to drive the transfer case all the way to the clutch bell, but it works ;-}

That frame comes from www.phantom-bikes.com. You can get the frame or the whole bike kit! It is definitely one of the best frames around today!

I have to disagree with you Hammond...

It's a Grubee GT2-A frame knockoff without the 2-stroke pedestal and nothing but a coaster brake boss and some cheap parts for 150% more ($265) than the other Grubee knock off for $100 that at least has V-brake bosses.

And what is with the kickstand hole but no kickstand?
Ever try to repair/replace one of those type?

Just my opinion but it sure looks like a rip-off to me.
 
It definitely looks like the GT2 frame, which I started to buy and build from the ground up, but for about $600 more I avoided the build and opted for a fully built bike. It may have cost me a few extra bucks, but John King and is crew at Phantom Bikes did a quality job and the Ghost 26 gets better with every little tweak I make. I have been posting all changes to my album and I have a comparison video of my 2 cycle build with the 4 cycle out of the box! It's a show stopper every where I take it!Dock2-1.jpg the video links is at https://www.youtube.com/user/JimConHam/videos

Beautiful build J, and I am sure the fame is fine for a direct drive with rear coaster brake, it just sucks for shifting build because you can't use a coaster brake on a shifter and it doesn't even have V brake bosses like a real Grubee Gt let alone disc brake bosses is all.
 
When I was pricing the pieces for a build, I looked at many of the geared rear hubs and relacing, but that made that rear hub several hundred dollars. On this bike I also liked the 1&1/8" Monarch Springers, the engine powered lights, the drum brake up front, the 2.35" tires, 50mm rims, the 14 gauge stainless spokes and a paint job I would never be capable of doing. This frame is quite capable of installing a jack shaft, but for now I happy just to ride. It's a little sluggish off the line, but is happy cruising at 28-30 according to my Cat Eye odometer and coincidentally the speed limit for motorized bikes in our state.
