I think that bringing it by plane will be the way to go (cheapest option). If you are flying with Air NZ, they'll have some pretty good excess/oversized baggage rates.

As for me... based in Wellington and always keen to show off this city and it's rides. PM me nearer the time if you're in Welly.

Has anyone had experience with/using Seven Seas for shipping internationally? They have quoted a door to door service (inclduing all packaging materials) of around GBP125.00 which seems resonable considering the distance.

Also - if you have any other ideas on how to get my bike to me that could be more economical than the above option (or quicker? Seven Seas estiamte 81 days) then please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I used Seven Seas to ship all my possesions from UK to OZ in 2003 - they were very good then.
