^ ^ Who I've used before for gearboxes, heads etc.

I've bought a few bikes from ebay in the past, paid between £25 and £35 iirc to get it sent. All of them got a bike box from a bike shop to send it in - normally the shop is cool to give them away free and give the bike a bit of protection !

Thing is ive bought the bike and the bloke isnt that willing to strip it and box it. I need a man and a van type thing who will just strap it in the back

[KINGVTS]

wheres it going from -> too?

[Sparco_Tom]

read above its all sorted now

[MikeCracknell]

I can send any package up to 70kg for £10 ;)

You need to make sure it is properly packaged, all in a box, turn handlebars so it is flat etc. Make sure that the bits of the box where the pedlas are packaged are made even more secure too.

The number of mountain bikes I have delivered where the pedals/handlebars have stuck out through the box because they were not wrapped properly is quite shocking!

i used www.senditnow.com

If you haven't already
-Front wheel off
-Pedals off
-Loosen the stem bolts and headset bolts, bars to the side and re tighten.

Exactly how I've sent all my bikes and how they come into work.
