I had a Gunnar in my pre-Rivendell raya with couplers. Traveled with
it 4 times in two years and had no trouble at all. Got pretty good at
packing/unpacking with practice but the first time it was a nightmare.
The bike didn't fit that well, sold it right after I got my AHH and
most of my business

A bit of a counterpoint on S&S. I've never regretted getting my bike
with couplers ...
I've never been charged extra for my S&S coupled bike. No one has
ever even asked what's in the box. They ask if there is anything
fragile, and the answer is "no". I realize this is a "YMMV" type
thing -- I
Another one who would suggest holding off on the S&S couplers. Have
loaned my Brompton folding bike to a friend. He was recently told
$200 each way to fly with the bike. The Brompton bag is within airline
limits. Both size and weight.

I'd give the S&S route a second & probably a third thought.
Domestically, you can Fed Ex or UPS a bike for a lot less than the
airlines charge. I recently sent a 58 cm LHT from Flagstaff, AZ to St
Paul, MN for around $65. Internationally, you have to figure out
where you're going, then res
I agree with Jim. Unless you plan to travel a *lot*, the cost of setting a
bike up with S&S couplers is very high, both in dollar and effort. When I
traveled to France, I put my Quickbeam in a hardshell bike case (Air France
didn't charge for bikes in '07, not sure if they do now), and when I

Doesn't the M mean it was match built, 1999 - 2000 or so?

Rivendell frames until later, I will stab a guess at 1998 or 99. My
1996 A/R was Waterford built&painted, my 2001 Road was Curt built JB
painted.

Before you go through the considerable expense of adding couplers,
consider that in the world of airline luggage fees today, you are as
likely as not to be charged $200 per bike per trip even with coupled
bikes that don't exceed normal luggage size limits. The rules on this
are seemingly unclear, a
