Operation Manual

5. Frame Sets

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

Mistakes during the assembly of your bike and the use of unsuitable attachments can result in seri-

ous falls!

Several GHOST bike frames can be purchased individually and also structured according to your

individual wishes. Anyone constructing a bike frame into a complete bike is deemed to be the manu-

facturer and is liable for any assembly errors or defects.

• THE FIRM GHOST ONLY AUTHORISES THE MOUNTING OF ITS FRAMES BY ITS AUTHORISED SPE-

CIALIST RETAILERS.

• This manual does not represent assembly instructions for converting your frame set into a com-

plete bike.

• The only parts which may be used for constructing a frame are those whose type and dimensions

are the same as the parts used for the bicycle range.

• You should select your components only together with your specialist dealer. He or she knows

which parts are suitable for your frame.

6. Before Using for the First Time

WARNING Danger from serious falls and accidents

Your bike is pre-assembled before being shipped to your dealer. Some of the safety-relevant parts are

not yet sufﬁ ciently mounted or adjusted. The ﬁ nal assembly of your bike has to be carried out by your

specialist bicycle dealer, i.e. it has to be made safe to ride.

• Please make sure that your specialist bicycle dealer has completely ﬁ lled in the “Inspection Check-

list for the Handover” in the delivery certiﬁ cate for your bike.

• You should only ride your bike if the sitting position is correct for you.

• Have your dealer adjust the correct saddle height and position for you.

• Ask your specialist bicycle dealer to explain to you the technology included in your bike.

• Protect your bike with spray wax. See section 14.2, How to clean and care for your bike.

7. Before Every Use

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

A bike that is not completely ready for safe operation can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls

and accidents.

• Before you ride your bike you should ensure every time that it is safe to operate.

You should also consider the possibility that your bike may have fallen over when it was not super-

vised or that strangers may have tampered with it.

• Memorise the correct condition of your bike when new so that you can later more easily recognise

any deviations from the correct condition.
