Keep the "girth" of the box less than 108 inches , have a look at the USPS web site for the international shipping guidelines & be thankful that you aren't in Canada trying to ship a frame & forks directly to Australia. Canadian post is insanely expensive. Alternatly put them onto a ship if you want to save postage & your friend can wait 2 months or so to get them.

The truth would be a good start:
Approx. US $100 via USPS Express Mail tracked all the way to delivery with guaranteed delivery date in about 4-6 business days. $75 with no tracking and a little longer.

create your own truth, go to usps.com, create a shipping label, enter the 2 addresses and the weight of the item (keep the size of the box in mind so you don't get hosed for oversized shipping) and calculate the cost. Then you know exactly. close your screen and you are done, the label doesn't have to be purchased just because you processed an inquiry.
