Weird MN question no: 3 million and 43 - cheapest way to transport a bike from Sweden to UK?

I have asked some very odd questions on mumsnet but this one takes the biscuit

I'm getting a new bike from my brother in Sweden for Christmas

So is it cheaper for him to organise transport over there or for me to organise a collection from here or should one of us fly with it?

Glad to hear you've found a solution. When are you expecting it to arrive?
I remember your first posts about it being built - seems like a long time ago!

Maybe Monday

It's been a work in progress since before brexit I think! I def paid for it before brexit!!

It arrived, I had help unpacking it

My saddle from my old bike is too high - so I need a lower one, I can barely ride it! & I am somewhat worried about the crossbar!

I’m glad you got it! Enjoy your bike rides! You’ll have to get a seat for the cat x

This is great 😊

Lovely frame. Like the way the battery is on the downside!

ooh, she's a beauty Smile

And the colour is just so matt, it's fab

The battery comes off (& actually I think the motor does too) so it can just be a bike!

If only I could reach the floor my saddle is too deep
