Hope I'm not too late.
I chose Bradley from Menzies/IMA/MMA (whatever it is) to ship my bike home from Cape Town to Frankfurt by plane in mid 2010. The short: 800 Euro (incl. all fees, crate) for 200 kg brutto volumetric/real weight (incl. crate), no problems, no hassle, very fast. Highly recommended!
Here are a couple of threads about Menzies by Dan et al. who used them before me:

Bradley's cell: 0027842092586
They're located right at the airport cargo terminal: S33.96112 E18.59430 - Google Maps Note that this is a new address, they moved in 2010.
or in GPS: S 33 57.667 E 18 35.658
I phoned around to get quotes from freight agents, but they were all MUCH more expensive than Bradley. You have to give him notice about a week in advance, so he can book the freight, arrange for a crate etc.
Customs is done 200 meters from their office, the first time anybody checked the frame number, actually. But all very fast and straight forward.
The cargo arrived a day late in Frankfurt, but apparently that's normal for cargo. No major fees on the Frankfurt side.
Good luck, Julian
