Now all I need to do is get it to New Zealand!!
The nice chap I bought it from has a very bad back and is going into Hospital in a few days for an operation on it so he can't really help with dismantling or shipping.
Anyone here near enough and want to be paid to drive to Lakeside Ontario and pick it up some time and take it to bits and box it for posting??
The other option would be to organise a courier to pick it up from him and have it delivered to someone who can pack it for posting to NZ....

Hiya Merk,
The bike is all paid for and safe and not in the sellers way at all. The seller is a lovely chap who has a very bad back and going into hospital now or any day for a long awaited operation on it. He will have a long recovery time. If the bike is stil their when he has recovered enough to break down the bike into large lumps and pack it then he is happy to do it. But if someone is close and can lend a hand then that would be great. I have looked into the Canadian Post situation and it looks like post is an option. I have meassured up mine and I think it would fit into a box 1200 by 700 by 200. With the crank arms taken off, chain wheel intact, wheels and fenders alongside the frame and the seat and bars and cranks inside the frame dimond. The paint is rubbish so in packing it need not be an issue.
I am happy to cover someones costs if they are close and can help :)

Hi Gavin
Did you ever get it sorted out shipping your Flyte to New Zealand. Your best bet is getting someone flying there and taking it as baggage. i do know some people going there this winter (,our winter),.that might be able to take it maybe? Or i can pick it up for you and take it apart and post. i have been to New Zealand 3 time bikings and have a few friends in Christchurch.. The one couple goes to Auckland.
Gavin: thought you might be interested. This is currently being offered for sale.

Wow thanks so much John!!
Deal is done and dusted, bike is bought by me! This will most likely double the number of Flytes here in New Zealand!

Gavin,
There's a lad on here who owns a bike shop not too far from where the Flyte is located. He may be able to help you out. I've left him a message.
John
Great thanks again John :)
Kind regards
Gavin
Congratulation Gavin, that didnt seem to take long. Well done

Hi,
I would be happy to buy the bike, I am in Toronto & easy for me to get it.
Might be really hard to post to NZ, I posted an amp to OZ, it cost $700 & was much smaller. Let me know.
