Stolen Ghost Bikes: UK Frame-Number Check (Free)
Last updated
Quick answer
Ghost frame numbers are stamped on the underside of the bottom bracket. Ghost is a German mountain-bike brand with a UK presence, so it appears in used and theft listings. Run the number through Cyclesite's free lookup for an instant UK check against police records, stolen-bike databases and community reports.
Where Ghost stamps the frame number
On the underside of the bottom bracket shell on the vast majority of Ghost mountain bikes. E-bikes carry the frame number on the frame itself, separate from the motor and battery serials, which is what stolen-bike databases use.
Ghost on the UK used market
Ghost is known for cross-country and trail mountain bikes, so the Lector and Kato hardtails and the Nirvana and Riot full-suspension models are its most common used examples. Carbon and e-MTB models are higher-value targets, so confirm the frame number against a receipt before paying.
