Mark, I recently shipped a bike to Australia via U.S. Postal. In order to meet their international size requirements of 108 inches (girth + length with a max length of 60 inches I think) I had to use two boxes. the total cost was apx $240. That was considerably cheaper than any other carrier that I could find. FedEX and UPS both came in over $300 from the NY area. If I could have made the USPS size limits with one box it would have been considerably cheaper. Edward Albert Chappaqua, NY

I have a 60cm frame I have had some requests on the cost of shipping to those areas. Please e-mail me off list. Thanks in advance, Mark Poore Slatyfork, WV USA
