If you do this, at least remove the rear derailleurs and ziptie them to the frame. Foam bits should be easy to get hold of, and just tape it on in the right places. And a good fork protector thing to go where the front wheel goes, and pad it with lots of foam.
It seems to me that doing all this work is about the same as what we do using a box also, attaching the front wheel to the frame etc.
Anyway, hope it works out if you end up doing this one day.
