For sale is my old bike box. Has been faithfully shuttling my bike around for quite a few years now and I have decided to treat myself to something new.
A you can see from the photos, the luggage handlers have had a good go at destroying it, meaning that there are a number of bodges involved in keeping the thing rolling:
Sounds pretty terrible, but I have to say that the EVA material is a really good compromise between weight and safety meaning you can fill it full of stuff and still not fall foul of weight limits.
Packing is fairly straight forward. Wheels come off and are fixed to the side wall using the supplied skewers. Next remove the seat post. Then remove the stem bolts and fold the handlebars flat. Finally zip tie the rear hanger up against the stay to ensure it doesn't get bent en route.
Also included are 2 x Campag wheel bags, centre foam pad to separate the wheels from the frame, and various bits of pipe lagging.
£50. Collection from Oakwood tube station (Picadilly line) please.
