Finally somebody said it. I bought a 1956 bike, can't remember the name(it's hanging in Vecchio's), really not that special, but it came in a wood crate. I'm NO carpenter, but I could have made one..2 by 4s, plywood sheets..anchored inside so it didn't move around..For one of these Zillion$ grail bikes...but hindsight is always 20-20..
PLUS the rig sounds really complicated, getting it set up, running, w/o issue or problem. Just a observation from reading some of the posts. 'Fragile' comes to mind. IMHO, of course. Quote:

heck, for a bike like that I would use one the local company that crates things and sends them by truck. It's more than fedex/ups, but otherwise amazingly cheap. Also, I would find a company like that at the terminus to send it back. In any event, I would have them use my account to send it back if they are too cheap to use insurance.
But after my friend's tandem was crashed by a magazine, I'm not sure the exposure is really worth it. |

I love this idea. At least for frames.

Thirding the plywood suggestion. Every Speedvagen that leaves Portland goes in one of these bad boys. If you're gonna ship high end bikes, why cut corners there if you haven't cut corners building the darn thing?

I'd never seen that ^^^^^^ before.
Although that wouldn't work on a few of our bikes like the Exemplar with painted rims. Last edited by sales guy; 11-16-2017 at 11:05 AM. |

I wonder how much it adds to shipping and if it would have to go freight?

Ryun has a few more pictures in this thread:
https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=167550 That is a fantastic design. I see they use a cardboard skin around the base (smart). Does anyone have a picture of the complete crate/box? |

Somewhere there is a video of unpacking a bike from this box/crate. It's definitely well thought out, and unique. Given the recent string of shipping issues I'm sure you could design a similar system that would work for your bikes/rims/etc.
