    Hi there,

    I’m looking at buying a bike box and have seen the previous threads about this topic, however, most standard boxes are limited in size. I’m 6’5″ and ride a 61cm Venge. From looking at the standard specifications, my bike wouldn’t fit in the boxes.

    Does anyone have similar experiences? Tips?

    While I realise this is quite an old thread, just in case anyone else comes across it.

    The New Shokbox Classic range  will accommodate frames up to 62 cm without additional dismantling

    The new Polaris EVA Pod Plus,
    The new Polaris EVA Pod Plus, unveiled a couple of weeks back at Core Bike, might be the box you are looking for. Some good feedback in the industry about it. Looks stylish too – if that is possible for a bike box!

    It’s a Gran Turismo, so technically no… Although it has what they call a semi-integrated seatpost which means the seat tube extends quite a long way above the top tube. Still uses a conventional seatpost though.

    The Scicon Aerotech Evolution
    The Scicon Aerotech Evolution TSA bag can go up to a 62cm frame but you have to mostly disassemble the bike (remove wheels, pedals, rotate handlebars) but everything is tightly strapped in and there’s usually room for your helmet, shoes, and some kit (our frames are only 46 and 56). About double the price of the Polaris but totally bulletproof packaging if you’re worried about your 2-wheeled baby. They pretty much set the standard on hard cases that everyone else is trying to match.

    I’ve used the Polaris Pod Pro with both a 64cm Trek frame and an XXL Wilier with no real issues. I had to take the bars off (as usual) and the rear mech but no extra disassembly required.

    You are right on the limit
    You are right on the limit with a 61cm frame for most bike boxes.

    The Polaris Bike Pod Pro is one of the larger ones. Which quotes “A 61cm traditional road bike will easily fit in a Bike Pod Pro”

    http://www.pod-it.co.uk/will-my-bike-fit.html

    My guess would be, either that or Bike Box Alan are your only bets. Unless you want to go down the soft case route?

    Just thinking, another option is something more rectangular, like the Thule 836, they can easily fit large frames, but they cost more and at alot heavier
