I would be really concerned about the placement of that crank. The arm is almost touching the DT, while the chainring is almost touching the TT and ST. Myself, that crank would be wrapped up, put in a small box, and secured inside the main triangle.

+1 I would be using pipe insulation or similar to protect the tubes.

This is one I shipped earlier this year. I have since learned from Miamijim to have the DT level with the bottom of the box, that minimizes the box size. I use those foam water toys, sold at dollar stores around here. Cheaper than insulation, and colorful.

To below, wow, 15 minutes! I really need to improve in that regard. Old slow Bill = about 2 hours.
