The case is big, and mine is slightly over 62 linear inches so it's a little dicey about fees. I would imagine after some practice you could get it down to 10 minutes or so.

It takes about 30 minutes to assemble or disassemble at first, although some of that was trial and error. The bike itself rides like a normal bike, albeit a bit dated simply because it's 12 years old. That would be a pain with a mini pump, and I don't think you are allowed to fly with CO2.

I use a fairly large Topeak frame pump, since you deflate the tires for traveling and then you need to being them up to full pressure at your destination.

Don't forget cost or interchangeability of accessories either - a second power meter or something can be expensive, plus you'll probably want to keep a saddle bag and a pump with it. The mechanical rim brake drivetrain is much more forgiving. Plus I believe the Di2 batteries are lithium and can't go in your checked luggage, so I'd need to pull the Di2 battery before rides. I don't want to deal with bent rotors or the chance of a leaking or air bubbly hydraulic system. The other thing that swayed me was that my main bike is hydraulic / Di2.

The travel bike is nice because you can send it ahead of you, stash it somewhere, don't have to be as worried about something bad happening to it (if you get an inexpensive used one), etc. I am not super competitive and I'm not racing when traveling (I did want to do 24 hours at Monza but then COVID happened), so being on a slightly less aero bike isn't a big deal (I actually think the Ritchey weighs about the same as my Fuji carbon disc bike anyway). There absolutely is a tradeoff between a travel bike and your regular bike. It's got 9 speed Ultegra 6500, steel frame, carbon fork, mismatched rims. Mine is a 2007 model I picked up used for about a grand including case. I got a Ritchey Breakaway last year after much research, which I haven't actually flown with due to COVID. Really depends on if I buy a frame and build it or buy a complete. I like 1x gearing and was kind of thinking SRAM AXS mullet. Will probably stick with mech discs or cantilever brakes as it's a travel bike, and would prefer 700c wheels for ease of finding tires. Maybe some light touring too.įor those who have flown (and flown internationally), and taken Euro/ Japanese high-speed rail with bikes, is it worth it to get a breakaway frame and case, or stick with a normal bike and oversize luggage?įYI, I'm looking at anything from a Ritchey Outback or Swiss Cross Breakaway (want one bike to rule all the road, gravel, and easy singletrack while traveling) to a custom Seven or Independent Fabrications Ti or Steel rig. Hopefully mostly focused on setting up in a beautiful place and going on rides daily, some local crits, stage, cx, or gravel races. I'm planning to take some time to travel once COVID is resolved in 2021 or 2022, and I want to bring my bike.
