It will cost around 640,000-800,000 won to ship my naked bicycle frame without the wheels, fork, or any parts attached to it! It is only somewhere between 3 and 4 pounds. The naked frame is just out of the shipping standard size limits for the Korean Post Office. And DHL is going to kill me on the shipping.

I broke my last bicycle frame again. I always brake frames. But, since it is very expensive the frame turn-in discount on a new frame will be around 2,000 US Dollars.

So maybe people here can help me out if you return to the USA. I'll give you the frame and my home address. You take it on the plane in place of one of your two check-ins. Then you UPS it to my Mom's house.

I give you like ummm 200 bucks or so... pm me your city and I will come drop it off- hopefully you live in Seoul....

The other option is I take it to Bali/Australia/Taiwan/Thailand/Philippines and try to mail it from there.... If the mail cost there is 400 or less it would be worth it. Does anyone know the shipping deals there? It is a 58 cm frame.

How do we know there won't be a bunch of wacky-weed shoved in the tubes?

sorry I was being for real in the post so no inane boast...

BUt yeah the frame is cracked --- worthless to all but me with my proof of purchase...

no joke if anyone is going to the usa I'd be happy for you to check it in and pay for the ups plus bonus it is way light a double butted Ti frame... like 3 1/2 pounds it is just that in total area size x3 it is jusy a bit above the limit of the Korean PO size regs

tragic...

you can open the box and check the tubes if you want you can test it with any kind of drug dog or coke head ESL teacher. I do not care if you drop it or pee in it.... It just has to go in one piece.... the company will not warranty if I cut it in half... if I could that would solve my ship problems... man I wish I was short and this would have never happened contrary I am a:

Gangly Monstrous huge adumbrating gargantuan almighty Mounted Hero on an English Crusade Terrorizing the Cars and Awing the peasant footman who shudder and goggle as I ride by in all speed and fury. The small children call out for me, and many the princess doth stumble on her golden heels in the wake of my glorious wind cutting wafting rear exiting breeze.

Please Christmas usa goers email me please. I need to get it warrantied and credited with 2 grand off my next frame - then I will have my moma do the leg work until my next bride errrr bike is ready to be united with me in naked and asphalt burning churning hammering lust come the spring and my desire is for one long roll on the Korean mountain Mamas West Korea....

Sorry to hear your frame broke. I came to the US on Monday. I definitely could have brought it along had I known. I'm bringing back one of my racing bikes when I return so I brought only my carry-on with me. I had the space. Bummer.

Well, have you tried contacting the company rep in Korea (but this might be more painful than an 800,000 won shipping fee)? That's the only other thing I can think of aside from pleading with the company about your plight and asking them to let you cut it at the stays to send.
