Rene Herse Demountable Travel Case Suggestions

Hello riders, I'm the lucky (recent) owner of a '70s era René Herse Demontable — any suggestions on (air) travel cases to take full advantage of its denotable goodness??

(pics to follow)

Thanks!

It may well fit in any case designed for an S&S Coupled bike.

I have an S and S coupled bike. I built my own case out of 1/8" plywood, with the corners reinforced, also with wood. My ongoing plan is to make a soft case out of soft suitcases, of which we have a plethora here, due to the unavailability of the things we got used to in the fatherland. All that said, I would recommend an S and S soft case. I have friends who are professional guides and it's their case of choice.

Making your own case, that's pretty hardcore!
Thank you for the suggestions, I'll start researching SS cases...

You should post pix for those of us not fortunate enough to own a Herse.

Anyway, you know the international rule of the intarwebz:

"Pix or it didn't happen."
