Hi folks,

I just bought this beauty 3 weeks ago. Now it makes a very lot of fun to commute every day.
Here are some first pics of the toy.

Very nice mods! Can you show or link what the toolbox is?

[vfx]

Of course.
It's a standard water bottle (plastic) normally used for mountain bikes and so on.
You have to try some different types because the diameter varies +/- some millimeters.
The bottle should fit really tight - you don't want to loose it, do you? 
This one was about 10,- bugs.

Toolbox opened ...

and filled with tools ...

It's a standard water bottle...

** APPLAUSE AND PRAISE **   This is the obvious answer. You are the winner.

Thanks 
It's a pleasure ...

Today: First real heavy offroad tour. Everything fine.

Nice trick! I guess I can take a caliper measurement or something to save people some time to do this again.

[vfx]

I hope you can.
But it's not that easy -> the most variants of waterbottles don't fit. Additionally / Unfortunally these bottles aren't perfectly in a cylindric shape and so you still have to use trial and error method to find a matching one

So - good luck.

Seems like 70mm-ish max diameter from a quick reading, but yes it does seem like a trial and error issue for the moment.

The real issue seems to find a bottle with an easy to handel screw cap.
Here's a link to the used model "Camelbak Podium Big Chill":

This one fits really tight, maybe a little bit too much - but better than too loose.

At our local bike store it was half the price, however, maybe a bargain - but I'm not sure.
