So much to like about this build! Your custom fork / rack, hand painted signs, overall color scheme; the bike has a great look!

Andy, on fb you mentioned maybe trying a clear gloss coat on the crate. I think it might tie it in better with the shine on your beautiful bike build. And it would probably bring out the graphics on the box as well. You've got a week left till it's over... :nod:
