That's the wife's bike - I use it for test fitting purposes only.

Anyone brought their bicicleta on a plane?

I have a fairly new Bianchi hybrid that I'd like to bring to US but I'm not completely sure if it's worth it or if I should just pick up something used instead.

No, but you're looking at anywhere from $200-500 for a really good case to put it in. Helpful if you plan to travel and bike in the future, I guess?

That’s what I figured.
Since this isn’t an expensive road bike or similar I guess it wouldn’t make much sense to buy a case only for it to be used once or twice.

There’s a company that will rent you a hard bike case at the airport but it’s only for select airports within Europe.

I'd rather rent - cost me $130 to rent two decent spec mountain bikes in Florida for 36 hours. I'd never want to fly with my bike.

You rented 2 bikes for yourself?

This would be for relocating instead of the occasional vacation.

Time to go bike shopping on CL!

How tall are you? And what kind of bike?

Very good chance one of us on here has a bike that'd fit you and your needs.

How are you bringing the rest of your belongings over? Shipping?

[Johnny_P]

The 32c slicks are on the macho man. Spaced the disc rotors out so they're a pop and swap now with no problems. Maybe I'll go for a ride this week.

Oh, also, I rented an e-bike through bike share the other week. It was pretty lolz. Start pedaling just a little bit and you feel electric boost. Then the assist stopped at like 17 MPH. Not too shabby, made getting the bike going a non-event. Although I think a lot of the advantages of it are lost by the extra weight you have to lug around, I def have a higher top speed on the regular pedal bikes because they weigh a solid 12 lbs less (they're also beasts at around 40 lbs haha)

6’2 and cheap.

I just want something to use around town and thought it’d be nice to bring over my Bianchi C-Sport (yes, in celeste) but don’t think it’s a viable option.

Not much to bring really so everything will have to go in my 4 checked bags.

So some of the new all mountain e-bikes that are the new best thing in the world are around 50lbs. Crazy.

Unless you're disabled, what the fuck is the point of buying an eMTB?



Also, they're basically electric dirtbikes. They ruin trails.

Yeah, buy riding regular bikes on trails anymore ruins trails...

I can't wait for my Blacklist to be built. I'm gonna be running 32Cs on that too.

I should have gone with 40s oh well

[Johnny_P]

I'm gonna have room for 40s.

Good. What's the max tire you'll be able to shove in there?

I wanna try out some SimWorks Homage tires but they're 43's. They might fit... not sure. I've been super impressed with my WTB Nanos though. They're awesome tires.

Rowdy steel radness?

Did you write that description?

I like that bike, though - solid build that's definitely worth the $1700.

I'm tempted for sure. I love me some hardtails
I mean... I love my rigid cross bike. That thing is straight money.

Damn the new Ibis HD4 looks bad. ass.

[Johnny_P]

Even the Ripmo is fucking bad.



Dang.
