Bag for Carbon Bike ???

[SadieKate]

Are you flying with it? Driving? What method of transportation are you using?

For flying I strongly suggest a hard box, and renting one unless you want to use it very often. I remember seeing them sold for less than 1000$ dollars, it may be worth investigating.

I have a Serfas hard case--plenty of foam padding comes with it. I think I paid about $350 for it. Doody has made 2 trips cross-country in it just fine. She's a carbon fiber Trek. It has wheels and a strap for ease of transporting in the airports. I've paid $50-$80 to $0 to take her on the planes--depends on the airline and how observant some people are. Also if you're going 1st class, there's no extra charge. (I upgrade with miles.) I wouldn't dream of anything soft sided.

Cool ! Its so difficult to find a reasonably priced bike case over here in Singapore. Really envious of how accessible you folks are to online purchases With the freight charges and all, reckon I'll have to leave aside at least usd $500 for the case
