Lufthansa charges sometimes EUR75 and sometimes EUR150 (the actual price seems to be random, and I even negotiated it from 150 to 75 once!) for a bicycle from Europe to Singapore.
Ask at DHL and post it here, so we can compare!
Different airlines have different rules about packaging. Some require nothing and the bike must be able to roll (for ease of handling), others ask for pedals and handle bar removed, others for wheels removed and everything packed in a box. Ask and follow what they say!
Oh and: There's a high likelyhood for some damage to the bike, usually minor or easily repaired, but if you are averse to scratches, don't ship it! (Of course they make you sign that they are not liable for any damage.)
