My 5.2 Madone is 58cm - not entirely confident about being able to put it in the rear of the BRZ due to the boot width. Would be good if I could, though.

I fit mine in as well by only removing the front tire and putting the seats down. Back tire first.

Funny this came up on the front page... I just unloaded my 56cm road bike with all my gear and an indoor trainer. Removed front wheel with rear wheel on, against the passenger side. Plenty of space left and could freely slide my chair. I feel like you could get a 58 in there if you ride with a lower seat height and shorter stem.

I took both wheels off, but looks like it would be fine with the rear still on.

I did use 1 5mm allen key to lower the aerobars down to get through the trunk opening. This is not an issue to me, as long as I keep the wrench handy or in the spare tire section.

Super pleased!

I need to see if a Kona Satori fits.

I'm kinda surprised, but I just fit a 26" into the trunk with only the front tire removed; and I didn't have to put the front seats forward.

UDPATE:
second and third pics show the bike in the trunk with the rear wheel on. It was tricky, but it fit. On my bike, the part from the bottom of the chain ring to the top of the seat is just barely able to pass through the trunk opening. If you have long legs you might need to lower your seat to get it in.

i also managed to fit my road bike in there in the same fashion. odly enough my bike is also black green ! weird

i've actually been able to fit two 26" hardtail mtn bikes in the back of mine with the seats down and all wheels removed, along with camping gear for a weekend, that was a hell of a packing job!

no pictures but i could do it again if needed, there's really a lot of room back there with the seats down, though i will tell you we had it packed to the ceiling. luckily we didn't have much food with us or a tent as the others were bringing that kind of stuff, mainly clothes and basic things along with two bikes



i get very creative when transporting my bikes, here's one of my mtn bikes stuffed into the passenger seat of my s2000, the frame is under the wheels

Wow that is unbelievable. I've put two 26" hardtail mountain bikes in my GTI hatch (front wheels removed, laid them on top of each other with a tarp in between), but can't imagine stuffing two into my FR-S, much less with camping gear.

Well done. :w00t:
