Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

case advice needed

hi there,

i'm a touring musician and this fall i'll be bringing my early 90's colnago with early 80's campy SR. i travel in a tour bus pulling a trailer that has all of the gear and usually a couple of vintage motorcycles strapped in there. i'm obviously not going to want to just throw a hook in the ceiling and hang it, so i thought i'd come here for a little advice?

as i'm going to be pulling it out everyday, i'm not going to want to take the stem/seatpost/pedals off every day. i have a feeling the vintage bits aren't going to enjoy that after a month of two. i also am going to be shipping it to the first show of the tour, flying and meeting it there. so it doesn't need to be a flight case necessarily.

my first thought is to get one of these and re-inforce it with wood or metal (i have a welder buddy that could help with this)- https://www.lickbike.com/productpage....B='3698-00'

the price is right on the air caddy, and once the bike is shipped, i could strap it to the side of the trailer with some tie-downs. any experiences? other recommendations?

thanks!
