WTD: Bike Box or Bag to store project bike

Posted on
  • I need to get my hands on a bike box/ bag to store a bike at an in-laws in till I can get round to building it up
    I've asked around my LBS but none have anything at the moment and I need it soon.
    I can't offer any money so looking for a freebie, so anyone just had a bike delivered and now sat staring at a big box and packing gear, let me know!
    Can pick up around Peckham, or anywhere along the ginger line

  • I might have one, when do you need it? I'm selling my frame but would rather not post, if someone buys from London then you can have the box. I'm by Burgess park so could drop off

  • As soon as possible really? Within the next fortnight I guess?
    If that would be possible that would be fantastic! Will frame and wheels fit in the box do you think? It's a lo-pro frame with 650 front and 700 rear disc... tbh even if just the frame fitted it would be ace
    Cheers
    Martin

    EDIT: attached photo to show what I need to store

  • I have 4. Yeah, I know I have problems.

    Beckenham so 20 mins walk from the ginger line (penge west).

  • Nice bust.

  • Where about in Beckenham? If near Beckenham junction i could train it to there from Queens road quite easily.
    Would it be possible to grab a box from you maybe?
    Yeah... I live in a weird mid-century nightmare (gf is a vintage dealer so I have a house of mannequins and busts...)

  • If you're happy with the sort of cardboard box bikes are shipped in, I'm surprised an LBS can't help - I've never had any problems getting one, though sometimes they've told me to come back next day.

    Try Halfords (Old Kent Road's your nearest I'd guess) or maybe Edwardes on the Walworth Road or Discount Bicycles on the New Cross Road - the bigger the volume of sales, the more boxes they need to get shot of ...

  • Yeah I reckon it'll fit all that, Its a specialized bike box (think the original use was for a full bike) Also there was a huge frame with lots of room. I'll pm

  • Yeah did my rounds yesterday but they were all saying they crush them there and then, they don't store them for any period of time and no one had any.
    General conclusion was to call back Saturday morning and hope someone puts one aside, so thought id give a shout on here first
