I 'd like to hire a bike box (VK or Roof Top Touring Box) for 10 days in late Oct.

Does anyone know of any retailers in south east England who might offer this service?

Thanks for any info.

    Sigma Sport in Hampton Wick, across the Thames from Kingston definitely do. Not sure if you'd get either of those boxes though as I think they rent out the Scicon and Elite ones.

    I tried Sigma Sport last week , but they said they'd stopped hiriing them out. Then tried http://www.southdownsbikes.com/ in Sussex who do hire them out, but didn't have any available (in October). Finally, by chance I was at http://www.cyclesdauphin.com/ on Box Hill, Surrey for some bike stuff and it turned out they do have some Scicon boxes which they hire out, £50/week (though generous on definition of week). Phew. Otherwise it was going to be bike #2 in a cardboard box to Marseille. Lots of nice bikes to look at too, and friendly staff.
