So if you don't find the perfect bike crate consider it. Also you really need to open up the first Trondheim, Norway full service LBS Maybe bike/ski shop but you need an LBS in town.

Mr. Duck can do that when he's retired.
There are full service LBS's. Or nearly so. Don't know about fittings, but otherwise ... The shipping problem is not an LBS thing. It's a shipping thing. Just too dang expensive, I guess, especially post-911 when they had to invest in scanners. So now they simply don't do 1 box-shipments to the US from here. Except by mail. But the postal service doesn't do bike-size boxes.
