Taking a bike abroad...........

[Enid_Puceflange]

Im looking for a sturdy bike bag/travel case

that will allow me to pack the bike for an air journey,

Needs to be substantial enough for the baggage handlers not to destroy my bike

But sensibly priced enough not to cost as much as my flight abroad

Really looking to keep the budget below £150

But Ideally would like something like the Evoc .......

I have the slightly older version of this.

mines is badged as a Monoc and quite a few places sell it, Ribble, EBC, Wiggle, IIRC. Somewhere always seems to have it on special.

Anyway recommended, took my race bike a shed load of gear and never had a problem.

The case in ecks link is the same one I have, you can get loads in it. I reckon you'd get the Orange in but it'd be heavy!
