TRADITIONAL Kickin it

Man, those tiller bars are really long! I agree, they may be better served on a more stretch style build. But they are very cool!

I love the 'sunken crate' idea. One idea would be to cut it down the middle lengthwise, mount a regular bike rack on the bike, and then hang the two halves on each side so they line up and look like a complete crate. Then in the back and front, add your cross slats so they match up and give it more of the box look.

Looking forward to what you come up with!

Yup I was thinking of doing a channel down the center, I may lower the overall high of the box by lowering the top plank sides down so there's no gap between the top and bottom plank sides....maybe

Yeah, I gotta find some lawnmowers now.
Great idea to recess the wheel into the krate.

Cut out a mouse hole at either end and sat it on the back tyre with a bit of wood for a spacer between tyre and crate and like it, I don't think I will lower the crate by losing the gap between planks

next is to cut down some planks to make an upside down U tunnel to cover the wheel/tyre (even tho it looks cool to see the tyre through inside the crate ) I want to be able to put stuff in it, maybe I can do it so it can be detachable?

Love that crate treatment, that's cool!

Cool.
I like how the ABC triangle kinda hits at what's going on in the crate too.

Thinks, it's kind of close to how I envisioned it

Yer I noticed that when I sat it on there at the beginning, I have found a strut from a metal front basket that will work as the support hopefully, if not I have plenty of stuff laying around to use

Cutting and making the side planks for the crate and sample piece of perspex

That glass bottomed crate is perfect! Great way to preserve the view of the tire, and retain the wood look and utility of the original crate. I was going to suggest a false floor, that would sit above the tire level, but this is better.

Found some brackets to use and this speedo......its from an old exercycle
