On the scrounge

Hi all, I am a lucky Git and have a trip booked to Maui on Jan 14th. I have borrowed a bike box but as my seat post is not removable I need to get a bigger box. The box I have now is a TYCO and is 28"X45". I will need something at least 32"X45".
Quite happy to pay or trade or?
Anyone have any suggestions? It has been suggested that I use a cardboard box, but I won't do that.

Any held greatly appreciated.
Dave.

Hey Dave,

I'm looking at going to the Big Island in February and seeing what options are available for cycling...

I was under the impression that they charge you a small fortune to ship your bike - what have you been quoted for price? I had a look and found that quality bikes are available for about $25 to $40 a day to rent in Maui:

Let me know what you come up with and how the cycling is on the island, Haleakala would be an awesome experience.
