WTB: Hard travel case

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

(I am an experienced cycle traveler but am new to this Group.
Hopefully I am following proper etiquette here:)

I am looking to buy a used hard bike travel case, i.e. one made of
hard plastic or metal with foam or other cushioned interior. I need
such a case for a trip to Europe on May 26 (2008).

My bike frame is 21", which should fit in most standard cases, such as
those from Thule, B&W, etc. Case can be several years old, as long as
parts and shell are all intact and tight. Roller wheels are a plus.

I would be willing to pay $100-250, depending very much on the
condition, quality and age of the case. I live in South Chicago and
would be willing to drive up to a hundred miles or so to pick up the
case, since shipping would probably cost about $130.

Call Andy Muzi at Yellow Jersey(yeloowjersey.org), he's in Madison.
Plus got a Performance around you? They have a private label case for
about $250.
