Hi,
The Champlain Valley Transportation Museum has purchased an 1890's Big Wheel bike. The only problem is that its crated up in Seattle and we're in Plattsburgh, NY.
We're concerned with shipping it by simple truck freight due to the fear of damage. Its in a warehouse of a cross country furniture van company. They were going to put it on the next truck heading to the Northeast, but there haven't been any for months since nobody is moving due to poor house sales.
The best rate for safe trucking we've been able to get is well over $1,000. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John
PS: We just got an 1896 Lozier tandem bicycle and a Camelback drill press
