I heard that as a special introductory promotion, each one will come with a complimentary set of speed sockets.

But seriously... I'm not sure I'm actually going to use it. But I stupidly don't have anything for my race this weekend, so it's either this or taping food to the top tube. I can't decide which is worse.
I'll need to reinforce the plastic on top and bottomwith some big washers so I don't crack it.

That is pretty resourceful. Spray paint it black and it won't look so ghetto.

no way. keep it as is. making it look ghetto is the best way to crush the competition's spirit after you pass them.

To make it both more aero, and more ghetto, I thought about gluing this to the back. Hahaha
But I guess one could consider that a fairing.

Fill with water, add goldfish, silicone lid and I PROMISE, you will have the only fish bowl/bento box on the planet.

Sure hope it is shatter resistant otherwise it could be painful in a crash.

Peel off the Speedo stickers and clean up the box then spray paint the inside flat black and it will look glossy on the outside :)

Not bad. Seriously. (Well, ... I guess we like this better.)
But on topic, since you did the drilling, why didn't you mount it a closer to your stem? A few issues I can see--not necessarily insurmountable though--(1) opening the box at 25+ mph and having everything inside fly out and (2) the no. of cycles that plastic hinge is going to last: not that many. In any case, your solution is far better than taping gels to your top tube. The taping method of carrying nutrition is pretty bad for drag. Especially on such a sweet bike.

And yeah, I'll buy your 483d.... if you can get it to be by this evening. ;)

Ghetto is heavy steel era stuff with unknown-level obsolete components!
