WANTED: Bike Box (Hard case) for use on aeroplanes

Posted on
  • Moving to Sweden very soon and looking for something to transport my nice bike in.

    I'm after something that'll withstand the most archetypal of baggage handlers. New they seem to go for around £500 which is a bit steep. I'd definitely consider a broken one if it's fixable.

    Based in Brighton but can collect or arrange a courier pretty easily.

    Give me a shout if you've got or seen something suitable.

    Cheers!

  • cardboard, bubble plast, plastic foil. Where to in Sweden?

  • Well I want something I can use over and over as will (hopefully) be doing a fair bit of travelling with my bike.

    Looked at things like this on eBay:

    Moving to Stockholm in March.

  • I've seen one for sale on shpock

  • Thanks @Ibrahim, will take a look.

  • Interested. What are you asking?

  • I've got a cheapish but robust hard case, only been used 3 times so in good nick, am only looking for 100 for it. Am in West London, let me know if interested and will post pics

  • I'm sorted now but thanks for the posts. Does this thread need to be closed or something?

  • Maybe just edit the title to say it's no longer WANTED

    But if anyone stumbles upon this thread, I'm looking for a hard case if anyone has one gathering dust

  • I'm looking at getting rid of my Evoc bag if that would suit. It's red, been used about half a dozen times (once a year since I got it) and has a few scuffs but nothing major. Never had any issues shipping carbon with it, I've seen it at the bottom of a stack of hard cases on a trolley and it has come out perfect thanks to the ribs.

    I won't be using it again as holidays look like driving affairs from now on. Comes with the road fork adapter.

    I'd be after £200. Collection from the City.

  • I have a plastic one sat in my parents shed, pretty sure there is something niggly wrong with it but you can have it cheap if you can get it from Cambridge direction?

  • I'm West as well. Can you send me some pics?

  • I'll get back to you if I don't hear back from Gralegav.

  • Sorry, missed this, will sort out some pics, but not til tomorrow eve

  • @gralegav @scotts Interested in either if you have any pics or any more info? Thanks.

  • @Bonj0ur I'm keen. price?

  • I'll take some pics this evening @ofathens

  • I have a niel pryde cycle surgery bike bag. Brand new. Its soft but you can pad it out with a bike box. I only want £25 for it. Im in highbury north london

  • Oops forgot! Will sort out a pic, if it ever stops raining!

    DHB Elsted bike box, the niggly annoyance was that one of the locks on the top is missing and I have no key, combo lock still works as so all the clasps.

    Bit of a drive from London, but if you want to come collect feel free.
