And what I can use: a couple bottle cages, bag, pair of brake levers, thumbshifter to match an orphan I already have on hand, and a decal. I'll add a few things and get the box on its way to acoffin on Monday morning.
I'm not keeping the hub in the picture, but I'm curious to know what it came off. It's a Maillard front hub, 32h with tiny flanges, and a Schwinn warning sticker. Was this off a child's bike?

^ Sure, as far as I can tell - they cut out and stuck on my Mondia (test run, even tho it doesn't actually have any BOC parts on it) no problem

I got the BOC yesterday. Here is how it arrived.
Inside I found a bent fork. I'm guessing this was some sort of practical joke. It has been disposed of, hope I did not miss the thread about these being good luck for the box or something.
Here is what I took out. The Peugeot crank will be a great addition to the Montreal Express frame I got from Anixi a while back. I look forward to using the horn on my weekly group ride, it's a real hoot.
No post office today, of course. I should be able to get this out to Striknein tomorrow. Happy 4th of July, everyone!

You know, that's why you should never buy a bike that belonged to Uri Geller...

Sorry, everyone. I am not one who is entertained by the bent fork jokes so I didn't have that in the back of my mind. When I first saw it I just assumed it got in there by accident. It wasn't until after I threw it away that I thought it might be a charm of some sort. I will put in another before sending the box off. Is there any ritual I need to tend to before putting in a new bent fork?

Cool, I see the cloth tape and cranks I put in didn't stay in for long. I'm curious to know how you'll get the bolt off the left arm, Anthony, I presume there is a way but I didn't have a pressing enough need for that crankset to figure it out myself.
