I think downtube water storage is the best application for that space. I was trying to make a custom setup like this for my bike before throwing in the towel. There is about 1.5 liters of capacity inside my downtube. Id love to have it be a sealed vessel with a coated interior and a screw cap/hose port and a drain plug. I wouldn't want a reservoir, it wouldn't be difficult to clean out, just squirt a little dawn in there and fill/drain till clear. I've seen bikepacking bags do this with stove fuel. Alot of bikes are now producing compromised down tube shapes to accommodate a water bottle. Id argue that integrating it and producing a more optimized tube shape could result in a lower overall weight than many current designs.

Dang that was sick! been following this guy for a minute but that was a really cool edit! Haven't completely finished an edit in so long, but this kept me all the way. love the trialsy bmx moves on DH, definitely hit me right in the 2000s

@uponcripplecreek: im sure they INTEND to sell you a 50 dollar headset spacer with some bolts in it to keep that from happening! oh zero stack is what you want? well, back to the drawing board!

"I became a dad so all of a sudden i had the time to start hacking and frankensteining bikes together!" hahah im kidding been following this guy for a while pretty rad stuff, although I think the allocation of time to dollars is a bit mismatched lol. Since having my first i've barely had time to do anything outside of wiping butts and cleaning. Lets get a highlight on the wife too, shes clearly a big part of making this happen

i just sent them an email to offer my design services. they are clearly missing a market opportunity by not paring this with a custom saddle bag for protein gel storage.
