Just suggesting that because of this pic: http://www.downtube.com/images/Bikes_7-14/BikeinBag.jpg

Which shows the stand you're referring to on the zipper side of the bag.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried one more time and finally got it right. The Downtube person left the seat on, but took the handle bars off. She said she is able to leave the seat on with her VIII FS. As it turns out, the seat comes off and the handle bars stay on! Too bad, because it's tough getting that seat off. I may do what someone on one of the posts suggested: cut an inch off the post so the seat does not have to be removed. I've had this bike less than 12 hours, and I love it already! \

BTW, it is easiest to leave the bike right side up, and put the cover over the bike, then turn the bike upside down - the zipper is then on top.
