Hey, so I've been looking for a Surly Disc Trucker for a little while now and I've come across one for sale in Romania. At first glance the guy looks pretty legit (did a massive tour on it from Kazakhstan to Turkey) and I'm gonna chat with him tomorrow. Assuming he is legit, and the bike is in good condition, and I can get him to an acceptable price, I'm not really sure how I would go about collecting or receiving the bike. If it was normal times I would probably consider flying to Romania and cycling back, but alas...
So, anyone have any idea of the costs of posting a complete bike across Europe? I'm in Ireland so it's (possibly?) simpler than if I were in the UK, since it's all EU. Still, it must cost a good few quid, huh? Anyone ever done anything similar?
