Unfortunately, that puts you at about 124 inches, which is OK for the 130 inch rate, but misses the very affordable 108 rate. Of course, it sounds like you got a complete bike. So thats pretty good for sure.

A 63cm frameset in a 108 box is incredible! Well done.

On higher end stuff, the shipping is not so critical. But I have quite a few donor frames, where if I can keep the shipping low, could be of interest to others, and clear out the workshop a bit.
