Look forward to the pix.  One of the attractions of re-cycling cardboard
boxes is the cost.  On point to point tours, it's simplest to abandon your
boxes at the start & scrounge up some materials at the end.  It's a problem
when you have a dedicated, expensive bike case, even on supported tours.

Subject: [RBW] Re: Hillborn v. Tournado

 

I went the route of retrofitting my Landshark tourer [64 cm] and make 2
carboard boxes 26" x 26" x 10". I put the 700 c wheels in one [with 38's]
which must be deflated to fit. I put the frame with crank attached in the
other. I pack my clothes and Hoss and  Hobo in and around and secure with 2
web straps pependicular to each other. I can walk carrying each box and I
have a small backpack [with my helmet and carry on stuff]   I am in the
process of making my second set of boxes for a trip next month. I will take
pictures when done.   Steve
