dont see the point of bring one out so that you can bring one in. customs or airline do not record what you bring out anyway.
ill be in SF and NY in april and also considering of buyin a bike there. plan is, to use it there so that it looks like it's mine and that ive travelled with it. ill be bringing my old pedals/shoes, and maybe old tyres and saddle to complete that 'used' look.
in packing it, ill use a stock box from a LBS. double up the cardboard and some bubble wrap and clothing. cheap and tougher than any softcase bags! i know a couple of tightarses who frequently travel to the continent this way...and that's with their £2k roadbikes
