Skrop Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Hey Hubbers I'm in Jozi, one of my bikes is in Cape Town (long story) and I have no idea how to get it back up north. Anyone used a service or know a good way to do this? I'm not planning a trip there anytime soon so I can't just put it on the plane with me. Thoughts?
Eon du Plessis Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Courier? Someone will have to wrap it up properly for you though.

Thoughts?Pack it in a box and ship it - actually - ask Bogus_one how he ships frames around - sure he knows a reliable method
Winstonian1984 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Got a quote from Globeflight last week. R620 if you have boxed the bike.
johannrissik Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Ride up the west coast to Saldanha, then hit the Sishen-Saldanha railway line service road.When you get to Sishen, hang a right, before long you'll be in Gauteng. From there you probably know the route. Believe me, it's the best way.
Skrop Posted August 4, 2016 Author Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks everyone, will get some courier quotes although I am tempted to take the Johannrissik direction!
Myth Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Also try 6wicks (6wicks.co.za). I have used them to get my bike from Jhb to Cpt and back before and was quite happy with the service received. How it works is you drop off your bike at one of the affiliated bike shops who packages your bike for you send it then off to another affiliated bike shop at the destination you want, who then reassembles it for you. Pretty hassle free.

T-Bob Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Triptych are awesome. I've also had good experiences with Internet Express for bikes and frames and general stuff.
Sidmouth Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I sold a bike to a dude in JNB once, I dropped it at Cycle Lab Cape Town and they sent it up to their branch in JNB, I think it cost R250.00
Prozac Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 use bike shop to courier with their items . . . +- R250 - R350
