I'm a relative newbie here and don't have enough posts to join the party, but certainly enjoy the "crappy"
dialog.

By-the-way, on the clip vs clipless issues: Over the years, I've fallen over with both setups. Once dumped a Santana tandem with the wife on the back. ..and we're still married!

Cheers,

Van

You sure have enough bikes to be here...

Arf!

I popped by to see how far down the list I am. Quite far, evidently. Has the box gone missing again?

Welcome!

Now, THAT is love!

@degan My daughter put a her own contribution into the box. Where are you, man?

My pit crew has been standing by for a lightning turnaround but attention has been wandering...

I fear the quality of the crap may be jeopardizing the game. I was mightily impressed by what was in the BOC when I got it, and tried to match the level with what I added. Maybe it's just too tempting to abscond with it? Maybe we all need to take it down a level, and add more turkey levers, cracked delrin FDs, and MTB bar extensions.

This thread I like mailing a case of beer to a list of alcoholics and asking the recipient of the package to "take one and pass it on"......

I'll make sure to pull the dork disk from my latest purchase before the box gets this far.

I want to be on the crappy list please add me.

Do not worry. I'll lower the bar.

Interesting theory. I wonder....?

On the other hand, I'm absolutely sure in Ultraspontane's case (necessitating Edition #5 ), it was all about how crappily craptastic the crap really was. I think he was expecting a box of NR and SR parts, probably milled and drilled, too :)

Hint? Something for one of our C&V cats, perhaps?

It's interesting Degan was on last night but no post.. he is also a long time member, so it's up in the air IMO. But for what it's worth, he doesn't show the tendencies the usual crap takers do..

Was he the one who had a lot of other stuff going on? I didn't scroll back through. He may be out of town, something. He'll come through.

I just waited a month for a new bike trainer to arrive from Germany, only to show up DOA. I don't mind waiting a few more days.

It is cat related.

degan did at least post that it was received. Maybe life unexpectedly got in the way and he is just delayed.

I don't believe so but I'll look.. the find command helps speed things up.


Edit: Yeah... no. Degan has a total of two posts in this thread, request for entry and acknowledgement of receipt.

Cool :)

I've no opinion to voice on the delay myself. I'm outta that game :)

I do hope the box is moving again soon, tho!

I think I jinxed it.

On the other hand, my baby girl is expected to come home on the 18th of this month, just in time for her Sweet 16 on the 19th.

Hopefully the jinx ends before then and the box gets moving again.

Great to hear back from you, knowing that your baby is coming home!

And no way you jinxed anything. Life happens, we deal with it. There have been burps and hickups along the way, but the spirit of the B.O.C. continues.

And so does your lifle, we're glad to hear.
