Can anyone recommend a travel case for a full suspension mountain bike. I'd rather not have to dissassemble (seat, handlebars, etc. ok, but no fork/shock removal). I've looked at Bike-Pro's, and I like everything but the price. Anyone use a Trico case?

BikePro is worth the price.
Mine has served me well on many trips.
Having said that, I'm going to be borrowing a Velosafe II ( triall3sports.combike.htmlOpen ↗ ) for a trip overseas next week. I figure I can get two bikes and the case just under the 99 lb airline limit by putting a fork in my "normal" luggage.

I've used the Trico quite often. With my bike and the case plus stuff like a helmet, camelbak, shoes, and some tools it comes to about 65 pounds but it has wheels built in. It fits everything very nicely without crushing it. I have small frame bikes so I don't know what would happen with larger frames but I only need to remove the wheels (they go on the second layer) and remove the bars from the stem (not remove the stem from the fork). The whole process of reassembly takes less than 5 minutes and you don't have to worry about reseating the fork again.
