WTB: Hard travel case



(I am an experienced cycle traveler but am new to this Group.
Hopefully I am following proper etiquette here:)

I am looking to buy a used hard bike travel case, i.e. one made of
hard plastic or metal with foam or other cushioned interior. I need
such a case for a trip to Europe on May 26 (2008).

My bike frame is 21", which should fit in most standard cases, such as
those from Thule, B&W, etc. Case can be several years old, as long as
parts and shell are all intact and tight. Roller wheels are a plus.

I would be willing to pay $100-250, depending very much on the
condition, quality and age of the case. I live in South Chicago and
would be willing to drive up to a hundred miles or so to pick up the
case, since shipping would probably cost about $130.

Call Andy Muzi at Yellow Jersey(yeloowjersey.org), he's in Madison.
Plus got a Performance around you? They have a private label case for
about $250.
