Packing the bike - weekend before

Here is a series of photos showing the disassembly of my Bike Friday.
Skip if you don't like technical details.

1) Full bike, in front of suitcase, & packing materials.



2) Bike minus pedals, rack and fenders:



3) minus seat & seat post:



4) minus front wheel and handlebars:



5) Stem removed, and protective coverings added to all painted surfaces of bike.


Next step is to fold down yellow seat post parallel to frame, and to fold back wheel clockwise and under frame.

Disassembly up to this point took about forty minutes. Squeezing into the suitcase took another 40 min (it's a good thing that I didn't record the audio).
