Howdy folks.

I am ready to send my Merckx MX Leader off for paint and I am wondering how I should pack it. I haven't boxed many (any?) bare frame/forks. It seems like the fork should not be through the headtube and I seem to recall unpacking at least one frameset where the fork was zip tied to the seatstays (after padding both of course). I have a couple suitable boxes and a decent pile of packing materials.

Thanks :^)

P.S. I plan to chock the fork and frame dropouts and wrap all the tubes with something so I am really just asking for boxing tips...
