One way that would save money would be to get a bike with SS couplers and a standard sized suit case. Another bike would be a Tom Ritchey Breakaway design. Either way the packing and unpacking is very easy. Go to Ritcheylogic and view the Breakaway and/or S&S Couplers (google). You can see pics of how its done. 10 to 12 trips would pay for the new frame and bag.
