If anyone on the list has shipped a bike from France in the last two or three months, I would like to hear how they did it. I have not been able to find a way to do so for less than $400. The issue is not weight, it is maximum allowed package dimensions. I paid for, and had to abandon a bike in France, back to the gracious but frustrated seller who was quite thorough in his efforts to identify a cost-effective shipping method. Other countries in Europe (except of course Italy) are not a problem.
