I think Joe has it right. Bikes are shipped all over the world every single
day without issue. The issues arise when the person doing the packing isn’t
invested in the bike (ie doesn’t really give a sh@#) and doesn’t really
care if the bike makes it safely. Pack it yourself, require an inspecti

I had a Roadini, briefly, and didn’t find it a particularly inspiring bike
to ride. The OS tubing is quite stout and felt like more a touring bike to
me. A generic UJB (or an old Trek) will likely give a livelier ride, though
you might miss the wonderful high stack of the Roadini.

I've never seen a Specialized Sequoia in person. Maybe they're more common
on the west coast, but around here, you'd have a better chance of finding a
Heron Road, or Riv Rambouillet used. I've also never understood why the
Sequoia has such status here. It's not very "Riv-ish". To me, the first
I found the same issue with mini-v's on my gallop. They just barely clear
the size tire that I want. In my case it makes it but a notch larger and
they wouldn't work.
