I did not know it but being short has it's advantages. For years I was caught up in the whole "how to not get stuck with oversize baggage fees" issue. I built these S&S coupler (pain in the ass to pack) bikes, and even came up with my own patented take apart system. At some point I figured out that if I cut down a bike box to just the right size, I could fit my frame in it and still be under the 62" limit. It might be difficult to fit much bigger than a 46cm/ 18" frame in the box though.
