tea... for the kids ya'know?!

Yeh. Filling it with tea would be smart. Keep the real stuff for yourself.

Maybe put a plastic sleeve in the tube first. Small pvc pipe? Create your fitting through a hole in the tube into the pvc vs using the metal tube itself. It'd probably be good for a shot or two.

The khaki rims are killer. Nice touch.. can you smuggle booze in the down tube.. how slick would it be if you could stash a little booze in the tube and pour it out through a little spicket near your chain ring.

Keep it up! When's your next build?
