Packing a 63cm S&S-Coupled Bike
I recently purchased a custom built 63cm Erickson bike. The bike frame was designed with S & S couplings to allow me to pack the bike in a regulation size suit case. This has enabled me to take the bike on extended trips to California and Hawaii.
Paking the bike the first time proved to be quite a challenge. After several tries I finally managed to arrange all the parts in the correct order. There are numerous sites on the web that show how others packed their bikes. I wanted to add this entry to give other large frame owners another example. Click here for photos.
