Sometimes I'm determined to a fault, and this is going to be one of those times. I'm going to bring my least valuable bike, a 1984-ish Trek 400 with a 3x10 Shimano drivetrain. I'm going to completely disassemble the bike, including separating the fork and frame. I'll put (only) the frame set in one box, the box will be as small as possible but will probably be a little oversized. I'll put the wheels and all the components in another box that will meet the 62 inch restriction. Hopefully each box will be accepted.
I'll leave the bike behind and this will allow me to have something to ride on my annual trips to Italy.
