Please Sir, can you add me to the list as it's been awhile since I've played. I have enough stuff around here that I could send each member their own BOC and would still have more then I need.Thanks,
Glenn

Got Richard's addy this morning so the box will fly today. Here's pics.
As found:
Peek:
Crazy brake comparison:
I snagged the bar-ends and a pair of skewers for the Klein. I then attempted to re-stuff everything back into the box. I tried everything I could but was unsuccessful until I removed the saddle, too. It's still pretty packed in there - I thought about removing the Shimano 600 pedals (missing the back plate on one), but I left them in. I did, however, break down the one pair of brake levers with turkey wings; the parts are all there, just separated to facilitate fit.
Here's the stuff I got (I had a busy day bike-building yesterday - I was wrenching/painting a bit on the Sparrow, too).
Bar-ends, skewers and my BOC decal:
Saddle:
In use:
Overall, I thought the contents were of pretty decent quality for having been excreted from posteriors across the USA. Future recipients should be pretty happy, sure to find at least one item with which to complete a build.

I'm really happy how fast the BOC is making the rounds these days. Quite refreshing. I eagerly await my turn.

Looks better than a Columbus SL decal, doesn't it?

I love the 'colorway' on that saddle and pulled it first thing saying "Mine, mine, MINE!" I had great plans brewing for an orange/white/black repaint on a battered old Trek frame I've picked up along the way. Then I put it on my Lambert and rode it for a couple days.
Nope, just too soft. Back in the box.
If it still smells minty fresh, it's because I gave it a good scrubbing with whitening toothpaste to get all the greasy marks off of it.

I hope your butt likes that saddle more than my wife did, @Drillium Dude. The first thing that came off her Kona Jake was that saddle, to be replaced by a women's anatomic saddle (that she loves). I tried it on a Serotta, but the orange and black clashed with the red and yellow - go figure. It had <20 miles on it.
The crap is flowing like a river around here!

The selection of 'Crap' is probably better than I have seen while I was in possession of it, I had a hard time making a selection.
I expect to have a new box packed up and shipped out Wednesday afternoon or first thing Thursday morning.

That is one pretty saddle (even if it probably wouldn't be very comfortable for me.)

I think it's funny how those stupid turkey wings keep punching holes in the box (mine was brand-new when sent)
Good thing all the little bits are in an Altoids tin.

Man I love cycling caps! It's about time we started stuffing 'em in the box.

I must humbly beg forgiveness from each of you.
Had a 'crazy' few days.
The BOC is on my work bench at the moment, but will be dropped off at the local PO this evening.

For your penance, choose 5 from this list, and report back to The Thread when completed, pics or it didn't happen.

I think we should add: "Thou shalt contribute at least once to the Box O' Crap."
