For Sale: Trico bike box

I have a bomb proof bike box I would like to sell. It is pretty basic and comes with three foam inserts for a well packed bike and space to carry plenty of spares.
The case has wheels and loads of straps. I think these boxes are about £240 each new. I am selling mine for £100 cash. My alpine adventures are on hold for a while, this bike box is perfect for transit by train / plane and ensures your bike absolute protection.

Dimensions?

Not the space time ones either (bmmf)..

Same question as Hippy really, is there a limit on the size of bike that would fit? cheers

size is 110cm length, 69cm height, 23cm thick..

The way the box works is that you remove both wheels, remove chain, detach rear mech bubblewrap it , remove seat post and saddle and loosen headset to rotate handbars It is a good fit for a 58cm frame.

All the spare parts fit around the box. I carried enough for a ten day tour.. takes about a hour to rebuild bike when you unpack.

an hour to rebuild a bike?!
where are you based? my frame is 62cm, do you reckon it would fit?

Mines 62cm as well, I'm trying to sort out my trip to New Zealand this summer. Weighing up taking the bike with me against getting one out their/ hiring one. This looks like it could do the job! Is it easy to put the rear de-railer back on properly? I'm slightly ham fisted.

serves you right for being a roadie gimp

yes. depending on frame + derailleur, screwdriver/allen key (+ lube) is all you need (assuming you leave the cable attached + rear derailler placed near rear triangle).

@ liquidsky - okay less than a hour, if you have done it before.

62cm should fit, critically height determined by top of bars to bottom of fork dropouts..

length determined by handlebar width side-on to rear dropouts..

PS remove pedals too forgot to mention that previously..

@spencerwells - check carriage cost with airline, nothing better than riding your own in another country..

My dream is to be able to fondle the bum cheeks of a roadie gimp

Really?

:)

i wish i had the money for this

Hi there. I am looking for one Trico Iron box case.
I was wondering if your one still available.

Please let me know.
