Frankly, the BOC had a lot of just plain Crap in it. Tom de-crapped it a little, removing some broken crap that was totally useless.

Here are the pictures we took on Saturday. Tim is the guy in the red sweater. The other pictures are the crap. I hope the pictures depict everything crappily enough.

What, nobody wanted the drilled Superleggeri pedal sans dustcap?
Still looks like some fine crap on the way...

Glad the crap is on the move again. Clearly, it is living up to its name.

I have suddenly found myself with a slightly greater volume of crap than usual. I shall endevour to ship it on in the next day or two (worst case, Boxing Day). I have some "special" crap to put in it.
There has been a slight blow-out in the side of the box...I do not think we have lost any crap. However, should I replace the box or are we trying to see how long this one lasts?

I vote to replace the box. The last thing we need now is to start losing crap atmo.

For those keeping track, crap out:
Rim tape (need it)
freewheels (hoarding them)
Tire (need the room for more crap)
Crap in:
NOS November 1995 BMX Plus (I have 6 of these, probably don't need all of them...don't ask)
A chain (there wasn't one)
The biggest dork disk I could find
Tire levers (several)
Patch kits (several)
A no-name rear free hub
20-year old Bell light
36 spokes of a length I do not know
a ragged-out VAR pedal wrench (no tools in there)
a water bottle cage
MTB platform pedals, need work
unknown bottom bracket from the 70's
2 Campy brifters, both rights, not working
ugly blue Yeti grips
Rim tape (need it)
freewheels (hoarding them)
Tire (need the room for more crap)
