Good hub. Truly nice bike. Did you do the operate oneself? I would really like to see far more photos of the bike. I am working on a fixed gear conversion but who knows if i will ever ride it as a fixed gear like you stated not just any individual can(need to) jump on and ride a fixed gear. A single speed is a better fix for my bike dabbling. I have some images of the project on my hub. Very good luck with the Hipsters.
Evoc claim that at 8kg the Travel Bag Pro is the lightest bike case on the market. This indicates you will want a pretty hefty 15kg of bike to tip over the common 23kg airline limit. Most road bikes hover about 8-10kg, leaving you 5-7kg worth of helmet/clothing/tools to stuff in and hopefully keep you inside one particular-piece-plus-hand-luggage limits.
Option 1, semi-dismantle your bike & bag it up in Paris or Lille: You can take a bike with you free of charge of charge as typical hand luggage on any French train like all TGVs, if you semi-dismantle it and put it in a zip-up bike bag with dimensions not exceeding 120cm x 90cm. No reservation is needed, you just take it with you into the train and place it on the luggage racks at the end of each and every auto like any other piece of luggage. Sadly, as Eurostar does not enable bikes in bike bags unless they are smaller than 85cm (which is unlikely), you will have to take your bike un-dismantled on Eurostar, cycle across Paris, then bag it up for the onward journey.
