Some of you will be disgusted that I've bought some repop parts, soz, and some of you will be happy that I'm building again, possibly?

So, on my next build we have;

Mirage stem
Tech 3 left hand lever
DC hinged seat clamp
Generic straight post

Nowt wrong with both

Just got two of these bags for when I go on my jollies . I used cricket bags last couple of times but had strip bikes down to bare bones you only have to remove bars pedals seat and front wheel with these just hope they survive the airport baggage men .

nice looking bags but I'd never put a decent bike in there going thru and airport $:-\$ my mates a baggage handler at heathrow and that looks well flingable!

Sorry to say but I think I've got more chance of winning the lottery (and I don't actually do it ) than that bike surviving in a airport.

It looks spot on for personal use of carrying a bike about but I wouldn't trust others handling it

I'd definately be putting a custom-fit cardboard box inside your bike bag plus plenty of bubble wrap to boot.

Quadog · « **Reply #3183 on:** March 27, 2018, 07:00 PM »

I will definitely pack them out with some bubble wrap the last few times both my bikes got a few scratches and chips but it was well worth it to spend a week cruising to beach .Altough I must admit it was nerve racking waiting at carousel .

Guess it comes down to what you're willing to accept in the end.

Recently bought the Odyssey bag (also had a DK one for the other bike) and used that fly the bike from the East to West of Aus for racing with not one bit of damage. Then back home again.
Normally have an extra blanket or so on in them so parts don't rub on each other and then whatever clothes are needed give it a little extra padding (the Odyssey one they are separated form the bike so no getting dirty.
Not sure if over there, but ours all go through the oversized section rather than all the conveyor belts for normal luggage.

Recently picked this up as regretted selling my 500a. Was only after a f&f but it came with zeds, redline stamped bars and tuff neck 2000 stem. Already stripped off the crank, brakes and seat to replace.
