Help! Does anyone have a bike box I can borrow?

[eminva]

Hello —

I know WABA has boxes members can use, but they never responded to my message so perhaps one is not available.

I would need it from July 25 to August 20 (which includes a lot of shipping time, have to be conservative).

I’d be happy to rent it, too, or repay you in souvenirs from my trip.

If I have to, I will buy one, but they are kind of expensive — alternatively, let me know if you are aware of a cheaper source for bike shipping boxes.

THANK YOU!

Liz

I have one for you. You’re welcome to use it as long as you need it. It is my spare.

WABA has bike boxes to lend to members for free. Membership has its privileges.

There is a very nice rolling hard case right now at the Community Forklift (hyattsville, md) that looks the right size for a bike box. I’m not sure if a full size frame would fit without S&S couplers, but probably. Take your measuring tape. It’s $30.

Not affiliated, I just shop there a bunch.

Hmm… maybe I should cross post on the ‘deals I saw’ thread.

Thank you, everyone — Dirt loaned me his bike box and my bike is all set for its summer vacation! Easy as can be.
