Travel Bike Frames on BikeList!

It’s fun to travel and it’s even more fun to travel with your bike! To make it easier and cheaper to bring your bike on the plane, several companies have come up with designs that will allow you to pack a full size bike into a smaller, more portable case. The two leading designs on the market are the S&S Couplers and the Ritchey Breakaway. I’ve owned each (still own a Breakaway) and have no strong preference between the two. And now we have two great examples on the site right now--and both are great all-round bikes! One is a Ritchey Outback Breakaway and one is a Surly Cross Check with S&S couplers.

Have you owned either design? What did you think?
