Hi Tony,
Thanks for your e-mail.
Have you costed sending your bike prior to your own journey to get it re-assembled in a bike shop in the US? If so, which carrier and how much were they going to charge?
Have you cycled in the states before?
Who have you got your insurance through.
I'd really appreciate any advice.
Cheers,
Bill Maxwell

I am coming over from England to do the TransAm Tour in May 2009, starting in Williamsburg,Virginia.
Although I have a touring bike - which I've had for 18 years now, I thought I'd treat myself to a new one for the trip. I want to buy in the US - preferably in or near the Williamsburg area. Could you suggest the best tourer that would comfortably see me across the country and then for me to ship it back to the UK.
It would need to be sturdy, have 36 spokes and be a joy to ride. I welcome all suggestions.
Many thanks.
