Andreas_187 Posted June 9, 2019 Share spray paint cans are forbidden on aircraft including in checked baggage Lovely bike. P. S. You are allowed to take a spray can in your checked in luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted June 9, 2019 Share Lovely bike.P. S. You are allowed to take a spray can in your checked in luggage.Just about any airline that I know of will NOT allow spray paint canisters in carry on or check in luggage. Small toiletry type aerosol sprays are mostly allowed, but spray paint, insecticides etc, especially flammable ones, are prohibited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas_187 Posted June 9, 2019 Share I bought an aerosol paint tin for my wife's car while in the UK. I travelled British Airways to Europe with it and then Emirates to Cape Town. Both times I asked before flying with it in my checked luggage. That particular can was non flammable. After all, I was travelling on the plane so I had a vested interest in it not blowing up!

gummibear Posted June 10, 2019 Share Stunning!Please prepare a "first new"ride report.Perhaps doing a comparison with the new Trek.I have always been intrigue by the Ritchey frames, just never in a position to purchase one, hopefully some day.Cant compare them really as the rides are totally different. Trek is 7.1kg with the cosmics and this one is 7.5kg so its really a light bike for a steel frame. The Ritchey is a racing frame and is very responsive but forgiving and soaks up little bumps or uneven roads.The Trek is super stiff and you can feel it. even though its an endurance frame. You won't regret buying a Ritchey frame.Build quality is great.[emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
