I guess you\'ve found out by now but yes as has been said you can get a mountain bike in an FD - I used to take my Kona down to Devon when I went to see my folks and will be bringing it back in the autumn as it\'s down there at the moment.

If you take both wheels off, and either take the stem out of the headset or take the handlebars off the stem if you\'ve got a front-loader then it\'s quite easy. You can even keep the parcel shelf on.

Never tried to get my full susser in there tho

Cheers,
Alex

Oh well I ask because I bought one this evening (rx7 that is, I already have a bike). The car is booked in to have an alarm fitted tomorrow. The garage is about 2 miles from my work. The garage opens at 830am and I have a meeting at work at 9am. Therefore I have to cover 2 miles in less than 30 minutes.

So if the bike were to fit in the car I could get an alarm fitted and make my meeting...

Yes i could probably run 2 miles in 30 minutes but I don\'t want to turn up to the meeting looking like i have just been for a 2 mile run.

Glad to hear you\'ve got one mate.

What did you get in the end??

Rob I got the very clean, late 93, low mileage example you suggested I go and see. Completely standard with new brakes, clutch, and engine rebuild. Very happy with it so far.

I am really looking forward to the 300 mile round trip to see the in-laws this weekend.

You can get a roofrack.

30 minutes to run 2 miles??

You should be able to walk that in that time??

Get the garage to drop you back home.....no doubt you are paying good money for the alarm....so I doubt 2 miles is really going to cost them!

All sorted.

The garage stated when I booked that I had to drop the car off. However no matter what way i looked at it I could not be sitting cool calm and collective in my 9am if I had to transport myself those 2 miles in less than half an hour.

So I had no choice but to phone the garage to cancel. Thankfully they then decided it was worth their while to collect the car. :chat

Looking at the boot now I think I would have to be pretty determined to fit a bike in there.

2 miles?
Put the bike in with it sticking out the boot, and just a tie-down on the hatch.

Looking through the paperwork that came with my Rx7 it at one point did have a roof rack! o.0  The bigest things ive fit into mine are a set of side skirts for an mx5 and a 24 gallon tool chest! (Now heres the fun part, guess what was in the chest) :Laugh

Dear Philo,
I have no difficulty fitting my road racing bike into my 7 when
going to races or for for a short touring holiday break, usually
in the fantastic rolling and hilly countryside of Dorset and Wiltshire.
Tried and tested:Saddle and seat pin out, both wheels in the boot,
bicycle in the rear, with the handlebars turned.
Problem solved!
Best wishes,
fdman
