I know those companies will ship, but how do you package a frame though so it's protected adequately, and it not cost excessively in time and materials?
The only frame ive ever shipped i wrapped in refrigerator box that i cut up and sent it to NY from TX. Fed ex was the cheapest at a little over $200. UPS wanted like $400 and the fed-ex store wouldnt take it shrink wraped so i had to take it to the main terminal. All that running around was fun carrying the frame in and out of the stores lol.

Yea I imagine. I know it's done on a routine basis, but it's the first time that's the hardest if you don't know what you're doing.

If it inspires any inside knowledge from anyone, the frames are:
89 - cracked in various places, and pretty heavily worn. I can tig weld these items, or leave the original condition to someone who wants to analyze it's condition and work with it. Has CA title.
88 - not cracked, but is a bit weathered. I'd say it's a moderately used, but not abused frame. The engine was still on the original bore when I pulled it apart. I'll get it cleaned and waxed and that will reveal it's potential better. Has CA title.
86 - a very nice frame. Paint is still glossy and not much rubbed off. NO title though. I got this bike to part out due it's nice parts, but lack of title meant it wouldn't easily be registred and ridden. The second owner says it was misplaced in the early 90's when he bought it. I still have the engine as a spare that I'm keeping for myself. No title.
