US customer John sent us this picture of his well-travelled Tourmalet on this way through New Orleans. Looking good John!

Customer Emilio has finally been able to travel with his Tourmalet box – a trip much delayed due to the pandemic (remember that?!). This is what he had to say by way of review…

I often travel to Japan, a bike heaven if there is one, and I decided it was time to transport my bike without becoming mad every time I have to pack it. I ordered a Tourmalet, and happily received it … just in time for the pandemics. Now travelling to Japan is again (sort of) possible, so I am glad to say that the box fulfilled my expectations. Packing is easy. The bike is perfectly protected. It looks great, and raises the curiosity and admiration of other travellers. It also rolls beautifully and doubles as a cart for ordinary luggage 😉.

Cement Grey may sound a little bland but it’s been one of our favourite colours this year – wonderfully understated. Customer MC sent in these images of his Ventoux Road in this colour and commented:

“Tried packing the box today. I left the saddle and seat post in, just dropped it a bit, so that I didn’t have to disconnect the di2. Easy once you get the hang of it, it will be much quicker than other boxes where much more disassembly and strapping in is required.”

For those who are interested in specifying this colours, the code for Cement Grey is RAL7033

Customer BL sent in this fantastic image of his two Tourmalet in Marrakech – just brilliant!

Customer EL from Singapore @celam2000 sent us this image of a wrap he’d applied to his Tourmalet box – love it!

US customer sent us this image of his customised Ventoux MTB box leaving the aircraft in Colorado – he says:

“My trip to Colorado to participate a MTB race was accompanied by Ventoux MTB box.  Couldn’t be happier that no damage inside out the box and my bike was safely transported through one of the roughest baggage handling among all airports.”

Thanks HS!

Dave R named his Tourmalet after Erik Zabel’s green jersey (sadly it didn’t make Dave any faster).

After returning from his trip to Europe Dave said:

“I love natural metal and anodised finishes but on a whim opted for a Tourmalet in Buxumbox’s Enhanced Powder Coat finish. It looked stunning on arrival – but how long would that last? It turns out I needn’t have worried. After two flights and a 100 mile airport transfer lying on its side in a builder’s gritty van following a rental car debacle the finish unbelievably still looks brand new. Fantastic piece of kit!”

Dave’s Tourmalet is finished in RAL6018 Yellow Green

Customer Steve G has just returned from Greece and provided this review:

I wanted a super-sturdy bike box that doesn’t require removing road bike handlebars. The Ventoux checks off all of the boxes! My first trip with the box included flying transatlantic and a bit of Greek island hopping. One island involved walking from the ferry port to our villa (3.4km roundtrip) on sometimes rough tarmac. The wheels had zero issues rolling and no sign of wear! Every aspect of the Ventoux is very carefully thought out and am very impressed; you get what you pay for. Looking forward to lots more travels with the Buxumbox.

Thanks Steve!

UK customer Jeff dropped us this line after his first trip with his new Ventoux Road.

“Just as the sign says – special equipment for sure. I had not anticipated a new phenomenon to appear on my new Buxumbox first outing to Mallorca – namely ‘Bikebox envy’. The attention and questions that i got re new box was amazing.”

Jeff’s box is finished in custom colour RAL3007 Black Red.
