I am considering the Curve D3 for an upcoming vacation thinking that it would be easier to fit a 16" into a regulation suitcase for air travel. Does anyone know of a suitcase that would fit the Curve D3 with only the standard folding (not taking it apart)? It does not appear that the Samsonites would work since they do not have room to cover the 13" dimension of the folded bike.

I really do not want the big Dahon travel suitcase ($200 and 73" linear), but if that is the only choice I might as well reconsider the Dahon 20" bikes.

If a standard suitcase does not work, I wonder if their are any "coolers" that would accomadate the Curve D3.

Thx...Paul
