Hey Mr.Super Socks! Thanks for posting the link to the Samsonite cases.
I have a KHS folder I intend to travel with and a hard case is a given considering airline baggage handlers.
I make do without for now - but any flying I've done so far involves me packing the baggage.

I'm already getting ideas on how to pack for a trip with a case like that. Is there room enough to put other stuff in with the bike? I have rear racks (they don't interfere with the fold, fortunately) and saddle bags. Wonder if there's room for the saddle bags along with the bike.

Keep the pics coming - especially of your "packed kit" - any other luggage you travel with for a bike trip would be great. (I'm making a packing list based on other people's ideas...since I've never been bike camping before...it's all been local or hotel)

Thanks!
Chris
