Box Size for 59 Clem

[Isaac Martin]

Does anybody happen to have a box that a 59 clem or 60 platypus or similar length bike was shipped in? Would you be so kind to measure it for me?

I need to source a box to move and don't want to get too large as I will be paying by volume, and will obviously need one long enough to fit the bike.

Thanks!

Frame set or complete? This is the box my 57 Gus frame/fork came in. I feel certain a 59 would fit - there was ample room.

Sorry, I see you are moving. Must be a complete.

These boxes are so large that they go dimensional weight, meaning, over a certain size box you basically pay through the nose regardless of how much larger the box than what qualifies for dimensional(oversize) weight in the first place.  For example, my 59 Susie frame box is 53x11x35 and double boxed. The shipping label from Riv claimed 15 pounds or something like that. I weighed it on an  accurate scale and it was more like 25 pounds. At first thought that might be how Riv can send out frames so much cheaper than retail customers can, by udder labeling them.  Estimating the ship cost on Pirate Ship though, it didn't change the price at all from when I claim 15 or 25. This is retail of course, wholesale I can't speak to. I seriously doubt a whole bike box is going to be much more than an already oversized frame box.

Shipping cost will still go up with dimensions. I’ve shipped enough bikes and frames to learn that cutting down boxes can make a significant difference (while still being in the oversized/dimensional weight category).
