shipping bike US-) UK

I realise that this subject has cropped up a few times, but when it has it's not actually answered
my question. Which is: I'm taking my Kona over to the States this summer to see what all the fuss
is about. I'm then flying onto Oz, India etc, where lugging a bike around won't really be worth
the hassle.

So what I want to do is ship my bike back to the UK so it's here for when I get back. To be honest
I've had a look around and Fedex, DHL etc say it's too large. How can I get it shipped back without
paying a fortune? I'm not too bothered about how long it takes, as I'll be abroad for another 4-5
months after the States.

Cheers Nick

Check if the airline will take it back.

Any chance you could fly to India by way of UK and this way you could get your bike back to UK and
have a friend pick it up at the London airport during your transfer. the trip may be a little longer
but until you check it out it may be a possibility.
