yeah, i've looked into with my particular airline (american airlines) and they will charge me 110 usd each way, plus they specified that i have to buy one of their bike boxes -which i really can't believe. i've read a bunch of testimonials on other mb and such that have had no problem and bunch about what a huge pain in the ass it was. there is a good chance that i might get it through without any hassel or charges, but i am just not sure i want to risk it, especially since it would be hard to put everything else i would need for four months in the other checked bag.
so, i am thinking it would be best to get one here and at least feel like i am getting something for my money.
any recommendations for where to look for used fixies, especially non-internet venues?
also, unxetas, did you really have to say it? i hope all the bike tools in britian aren't owned by dudes looking for something more than helping out a fellow rider in need.
