I can't see you having trouble anywhere if your bike is packed at 85cm. TGV and Thalys hardly look at it, I saw someone leaving a surfboard on the restaurant car of the AMS-Brussels train the other day.
Don't know if Germany's ICEs are another story, but I'd assume you're more than fine if you keep the bag reasonable.

Is the 85cm rule a typical one for continental trains? It would be nice to have a standard packing solution which is never refused.
In the past I've kept to the 30cm airline/bus rule with s&s couplers and a home made cardboard box but it was so much faff that it ruined my whole week.
