I'd like to get back in the BOC que. Here is the cool REI bag I got from the last go round. It now resides on my 79 Grand Prix. Thanks

Btw, did you get pics of the "artwork" on the outside of the box? I note you made a comment about it, but no pics - and I'll admit I'm dying to see what the artwork looks like! DD |

Oh. it wasn't anything too special. Just enough to make the mail handlers wonder what the heck is in there. Box use count is up to 12.
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=405078 http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=405079 http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=405080 Also it will be going out to rhm on Thursday. |
^ That's cool :)

Ha, I didn't think it'd last that long! Oh, and the use count was actually 2 when I made the counter, I was trying to make tallies :lol:
Oh, and please re-add me. |

o.O I didn't think that box would make it past you! I like the additions too! It should be noted, this was done as a poor imitation of a previous artists work on a previous box.
|
Well, I'm looking forward to the arrival of the box, whatever its condition.
|
Me too. I don't like to wait.
|
The box arrived a couple days ago (Tuesday, September 15) and I haven't had a chance to document and select. Man, what a box of crap!:lol: Some great stuff in there, though sadly not much for me. I'll try to sort it out and mail it either tomorrow or Monday.
|
Zzzzzzz
*yawn* *stretch* I admit I kinda forgot about this, but it's my turn now, is it? Ok. I shall look for it in the coming week. |
It's so far away from me... I'm building up a good pile of crap for it!
|
I'll be looking this evening. Post office does not deliver to door, but rather leasing office, which closes at six( and I won't get home until eight), but I do get a notification. I'll keep you all updated.

@RaleighSport and @Drillium Dude, please take me off the list. My hobbying has gone in a slightly different direction; my one old bike is running and the other is getting modernized. And I don't want to see any more crap out of you.

Yeah, I had a box of stuff selected in advance, but seeing what's in the box changed my mind (but this is not another excuse). A lot of the stuff I was planning to put in there didn't seem appropriate any more; a lot of it was already in there. I had to start over to carefully select stuff that didsn't duplicate the present contents... . |

Okay, so, after much delay.... this is what the box was looking like as I was sorting through it...
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/--...0/IMG_7363.JPG This stuff didn't make it back into the box. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-q...0/IMG_7364.JPG That's a Velo Orange fork stabilzer (the thing in the bag; I want to try it out on my Holdsworth); a Lucas mileage meter for 20" wheels; a pump clip; a 39t chain ring; a couple seat post clamps; a Campy BB fixed cup for Italian thread; and that 120mm quill stem you see in the first photo, I kept that too. The Campy Gran Sport FD didn't make it back into the box either. It's beyond useless, looks like it got damaged in transit. Too bad. It was dark when the box left my house this morning, strapped to the luggage rack on my Holdsworth; otherwise I would have got a photo. It was still dark when I got off the train and rode a Citibike to my office. But here it is in the luggage rack of a Citibike that I rode to the post office: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-x...2013.23.42.jpg All that weight on the front end of a Citibike actually makes it pretty stable. For the first time ever, I was able to take my hands off the handlebar. :thumb: ________________________________________________________________________ Edit/update: USPS says the package was delivered to the next addressee on September 27. |

Ah, that's the ticket! Even has a police threat-of-severe-bodily-harm sticker...

^^^Dang it Skip, sorry to hear. I've had that sunk feeling too. What do you guys do in the big city if touring around, hitting a restaurant, museum? We have a couple of clunker bikes always left out to jump on, as loaners for neighbors or guest. But not up to riding when touring a town. Prefer to enjoy a finer or lightweight bike.
One would think these days and with all the street cam's, could catch some a whole lot more of scum thieves. Seems nothing really has changed. |
^^ Cops don't usually give a crap about stolen bikes. Waaaay down the list of priorities. :(
