I have read all these post with fear and trepidation! I am shipping my bike to Portland from Bristol, TN in two weeks and will probably use FedX. I am so nervous about it that I am about sick!! The airline would be too expensive to use and the oversize (but not overweight) box costs $175 each way!!! UPS has not been good for us, and we have no Amtrak. So FE it is, and I will be praying the whole time that it gets to the shop safely! I will ride for a month and go through the whole thing again to get it home!

I have another bike to ride in the meantime but want my baby home safely and fast!
