Hi Tasha!

Unfortunately I have no experience taking my bike on the train on the Balkans, however I can tell you that there are no dedicated bike carrier coaches on the route from Belgrade to Istanbul via Sofia.
You should be able to carry your bikes with an extra ticket from Budapest to Belgrade; afterwards you might have to dissasemble it and just put it somewhere in the compartment or at the end of the coach.

Some travel info in general: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/to-istanbul-by-train-part-1[/u]

It would be great if you could share your experiences with us afterwards - this would certainly help other travellers as well! :)
