31mm headset wrench, eh?
I've had more than one of those vexing buggers show up. Now if you had two of those wrenches, I'd be tempted to trade.

Just got my box, very similar to Toytech's. Several of the parts have got me scratching my head. I know that some are part of a cantilevered brake set, but what are these spider looking things?
I'm not going to show everything I got since I may decide to play NoGlider's box o'crap game.

I got mine today. It's mostly treasure. I'm working on a repair for someone, and she's paying me for it. The twist shift broke and lost a part, and she doesn't want to spend the money on a replacement. Well, here it is!
Click here to see my pictures.
Here is the first picture in the series:
A 700C x 38 inner tube, a computer mount, a mystery tool, a threadless stem (new in box!) three integrated shifter/brake levers, a pair of bar ends shaped like knobs (new in package), a frame bag or strap (I can't tell which), some nuts and bolts, a pair of handlebar plugs, a pair of brake shoes, and two identical headset cups. There's also a single braze-on bit for mounting a brake to a frame or fork.

Hmm... Seems like headset wrenches and cups are popular in the BOC. It just so happens I need both. Guess I'll be giving it a shot tomorrow...

Too much!
Now that Ive stopped laughing and have gotten up off the floor so I can reach the keyboard, count me in for the BOC Game. At last I can get rid of those hideous French BB cups, dried out tubes of patch cement, and 6" pieces of cable housing. Brilliant!

Wrench Savant
My crap came today, and it lives up to the hype:
I cannot figure out what the blue plastic rings or the steel rings are for. Looks like the co-op is in for a Christmas donation.

Riding like its 1990
Hit me up with the model numbers on the Flight deck stuff and I may take it off your hands. I like my setup so far and the wife's bike could use one.

My bike stand had those exact Robinson racing stickers on it when I bought it, that is funny.
