I stumbled across this 'Mystery Box' at one of my lesser-frequented local bike shops where a friend wrenches. I got my first glimpse of it two years ago and I've been pestering the owner of the shop, who is a very busy guy to slow down long enough to look it over and name a price and I finally hit the sweet spot this afternoon. He hauled it out of his office, opened it up on the counter and after two seconds of careful consideration said 'Seventy-Five Bucks.' I won't have a chance to look through it for a few days with a jam-packed weekend ahead but just had to share a few pics.

Lucky. Two of those Campagnolo dust caps will give you your money back.

That is a pretty amazing treasure chest.

Yet another reason to love Lincoln, eh? (I be from Kansas.)
