Hello all,
I was sick for a week or two and so I'm catching up. I have decided to sell me Hawthorne but to a good home. It has so much potential, but I haven't touched it in a long time and it has to go. I got a Giant bicycle carton from the LBS and it doesn't seem like it will fit. Giant primarily builds road bikes so that is probably why. Packing this large and heavy bike into this narrow carton is the equivalent to cramming a fat man into a Smart Car.
Am I doing something wrong or do I need a bigger bike? If I should get a bigger box, where else can I look? My LBS primarily sells road bikes and not many with fat tires. I've packed and shipped several bikes over the years but this is the first ballooner. This is also a good chance for me to try shipping via bikeflights (we didn't know about bikeflights the last time I shipped a bike)
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any solutions you guys may have!
