Jef. I used to fly so often, my bags looked pretty worn. As I did with my bike, I guess I needed to have invested in a hard shell suitcase. One time the TSA so damaged my bike box, I am amazed the few bike parts, I had duct taped to the side of the box, where not lost. Guess, I just had bad luck with the bag handlers.
