Doug,

I've got photos of a great packing job that John Morrison used when he shipped my my Eddy Merckx 7-Eleven frame. I used the same packaging when I shipped another Merckx frame to someone, and it arrived in perfect shape.

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...
