hi,

my name is cole and i own www.batescrates and www.1lesscar. i followed this link from my web stats and its always fun to see people talking about my crates. i know the person whos crate this is and she was really exited to get it. as for you guys saying its spam i have been on this forum for years and respect it a lot and don't spam it. yes if someone is talking about my stuff i will add something. i wont try and promote here i know its not the place. as for the crates yes they are expensive i know but between the cost of the wood and the time i invest into making each one by hand im not getting rich by any means. weight it is under four pounds and they are not designed to be used on you carbon fiber racing bike,if your using a commuter the weight shouldn't bother you at all. these crates will also work on rear racks i have had a few people order them and use them on the rear. im working on building a new one with the same dimensions as milk crate because people seem to like the milk crates so much. while i know the crates are not for everyone and not for the hardcore commuter they are something i believe while help people ride more and drive less.
