After looking into it I have decided that I do not want to spend $350 (the best price I have found) to cut my bike in two and then have it repainted to match (maybe). If I were to do it, I would want a single color bike or Ti with no paint. I will be buying a travel case as all my travel by plane is overseas and they bike simply goes in place of one piece of luggage. At least at the moment. If that changes, so may my current thinking.
