the same design pantani rode? DAMN!!! i'll swim back with the bike if i have to...

you should just check with your flight and see whether they can allow large items that is out of normal baggage size... and if they do, the only question is how do you plan to ferry the darn thing back... and if it is something as priceless the reparto corse... i'd get a god damn hard shell travel case to bring it back... at least it will offer a certain a degree of protection against those cargo bungholes who tries to get the bike case to do a tony hawk in mid-air...

as for customs... it depends on what you were in helsinki for... you can say you went for a bike tour and the bike is yours on the return trip (the bike is not exactly new anyways).. but then again, road bikes don't get taxed to begin with anyways... not quite a worry in the first place...

you can blame it on miao because he is constantly talking about lisa jacobs every chance he gets...tats the reason you can't find the post...

no money?

- Check your airline if they special allocation for bikes on board? Air asia have sports equipment allowance which is separated from the usual baggage allowance, eg for me when i comeback i have 40kg of sports equipment allowance (carried 2 bike bag) and 40kg allowance for my baggageand stuffs. Airlines like MH usually calculated your bike weight under normal allowance, eg 30kg economy class including your bike and your baggage together.

-You gotta choose how pack up you bike, soft shell like Sci-con aerocomfort or hard case like bikeboxalan. Both got good and bad, I choose aerocomfort cos i no need to disassemble as much as hard case (just remove the wheel). My trip with scicon so far so good, i talked to some of the owner and they are satisfied with it. My bag together with bike only weigh around 16 kg &17 kg. It will be much more heavier if you use hardcase. Just make sure you pad the bike well when you packing up your bike in either soft or hard shell box. Another cheaper option is the brown box where u can get from bike shop, its cheap and its effective as well but you got to know what are you doing when you packing it, best pay the bike shop to pack for you. Not to mention the bike will be taken apart so you gotta have the right tools (torque wrench) to fix it back.

-Malaysia customs, they will ask for sure as the bag is unsually big ass size. Just tell them its a bicycle and they will let you go. That what happen to me when i lugging two bike bags and my baggage in lcct.

n u kept talking about that virgin n tenga

kira guna tangan la like that

actually are you in japan now or wat??? don't japanese meters show japanese words or something like that?

cateye is definitely shit at producing meters that have all function... rule them out at all cost if you want something that has it all... tats all i gotta say.. the rest is a~o-kay unless you want to hear miao rant about polar and garmin problems...

InSight | China’s top 10 bicycle enterprises

XDS is 7th from the top... shocking...and the name actually represents XiDengSheng... Bicycle Manufacturing Company somehow now sounds lame...

and some fairly interesting names

Zhejiang Rebar Huang & Trade Group Co., Ltd., hope the bike is not made from rebar

Hebei strong long bicycle accessories Group Limited it's strong and it's long... but it's not where you want it...

wah... nama panjang betul

it's a mouthful..

eh i tot v3n got everything? http://www.cateye.com/uk/products/detail/C...310TW/moreinfo/
