I broke my ankle doing that in 2014
TT position in my 55x11 gear on 20" wheels
veered across multiple lanes, straight through the curb, across the sidewalk, up a flight of concrete steps, and flipped over the central stair railing

Ha! I feel the same about yours!
simple solution- send them both to me and one of you gets a bike that’s the color you wanted

I had the Nudebeach equivalent folding box, but it was noisy as hell whenever I hit a bump. I got the solid version and even though it can’t fold flat, I prefer it.
I cut some convoluted foam for the bottom which makes it almost silent now, too.
what kind of foam situation did you use? i’ve got some ~1” thick closed cell foam because work provides near limitless supply (though it is now 4 hours away) and i figured i could always just throw it out if i needed.
bigant is solid/thick enough that it doesn’t make much rattle. stuff in the bottom does but the bonus of having the thick foam bottom is i can keep stuff under it- currently have my pump and the allen key for the wheels in there
We bought a bunch for photo gear boxes and had some stuff we used for the kids left over. If you’ve seen what Pelican case lids come with, it’s real similar.
I hung some parts on @Wesbarf 's Poprad to get a shopping list for Kid Biek V4.
The Tektro wet brake I had on the old dirt jumper has enough hose; I’m just going to get a matching front brake. Anyone have any tips for running hose where cablestops are?

New headset didn’t fix the headset coming loose problem. 
good news is I don’t think it’s the frame because the cups had resistance going in.
Star nut slipping?
Carbon steerer, so it has a compression plug. It’s a profile 1" carbon steerer fork. I’ll check on a different compression plug.
Didn’t change crown race when changing the headset. Lower bearing and race seemed to both 45*, but going to check it incase.
