On first glance, this isn’t really a tricky question but… The OH wants to buy a Pashley cruiser in the UK over Christas, but then will want to take it back home on the plane by New Year.

With a mtb, it’s a piece of p*ss – wheels off, handlebars off, pedals off, rear mech off, wrap the lot, box it.
With the particular Pashley she has her eye on, we’re looking at bolted wheels, hub brakes and internal gears, plus mudguards. Not having taken one of these apart before, do the hub brakes and internal gears make it significantly more difficult?
