go to bike shop, get cardboard bike box.

then bubble wrap frame etc to prevent chips and attach wheels to frame with tape so dont move about.

Get a courier to pick it up and deliver it. Make sure nothing is going to move around inside the box. Had some paint ruined in the past from pedals bouncing about.

Sent a frame & forks today with interlink direct

Managed to get it into a box just under 1 metre long by removing forks and seatpost which seems to keep price down

next day delivery was under £14 and I got a £5 voucher code FDC5

not used em personally before but they seem a more legit than Yodel etc.

might be worth a look for anyone in the market.

^Self-meming. I'm sure there's a support group for that.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
