Sending a bike overseas

I am currently in India, the plan was to ride my bike around, but plans have changed and now I want to send it home and pursue other non-cycling opportunities. Does anyone know a good way to send a bike from India to Canada? I was thinking of leaving the frame and just sending the components via Indian post and sending the nice expensive small parts (like the phil woods hubs) via DHL (I have heard bad things about Indian Post), will Canada customs try to make me pay for this (the bike was made and bought in Canada). I was thinking of selling it here, I like the wheels too much and the components are all good and it doesn't make sense to sell the bike when it is hard to find 700 wheels. Thanks.

Try asking in the Touring forums. Most of them are used to sending bikes here and there.

You can easily get it done by the courier service provider. Try and search one near you place and they can get your bike transferred to any part of the world. You can even try going to airport as there are lot of courier service providers.
