I just thought I'd post a couple photos of Machak in the process of being packed in my new cardboard box.
I was very fortunate to be able to get a box with padding and even with straps to hold Machak in. In addition, I really liked how it went together. The top fitted over the bottom creating a double layer of cardboard around the edges. If you are thinking of packing your bicycle in a cardboard box, consider picking up a box like this one. This particular one was for a Trek Madone, and I got it from a LBS.
The box comfortably survived the trip to and from Australia .... 6 different airplanes, and lots of handling on and off those airplanes.
