Ladies, thanks to all those who replied. The box sounds fantastic, howver, I have to decide if I would rather go the expensive bike case route, for convenience purposes. I am not simply traveling from Canada to the US, I am actually moving, and as such, I have a cap on how many bags I can bring( 2) and a cap on the weight, (50 lbs), So anything more is a pain in the arse, & hell to lug around an airport, as I am alone, once Im on the stop over. The cost to Fed Ex-the bike would probably end up being around the same price as the surcharge at the airport.
