Oh I did not intend to offend the gods but I do have a good sized BOC box colecting bits in my closet. If need be I'll perform the penance.

Too soon, too soon!

J.Oxley would just snap up all that NOS crap before it got to you...

Do not listen to [MENTION=96605]smontanaro[/MENTION], only The Crapmaster can make such proclamations!

PM me, I'll send you a proper address to send the penance...PNW...not to far off the Willamette River...:innocent:

Booyah - BOC is on its way to J.Oxley.

There's a rear mech. in there that was begging for a bike to be built around it. I didn't listen, will be interesting to see where it ends up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! is what that little announcement feels like. :)

I hadn't expected the fun that came along with the gf saying "There's a box on the porch for you; it's real heavy. What is it??"
"Heh. That's the box of crap." "Oh. What's that????"

My wife is amused by all this heavy crap flying around.

Mine tried to suggest a parallel to some sort of traveling pants. I think this is much more sanitary and efficacious. I'm afraid her metaphor was lost.

I eyed that bit of crap myself . . . Decided I didn't have a project worthy of it.

Can I just say that even though I'm not on the list I really enjoy this thread. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to post pictures.

It's like Storage Wars but interesting.

I'm next !!! :twitchy::beer:

It's some fine crap (the PO must eat well). Hadn't seen one of those before, but it got me thinking...

I'm trying to lose a few pounds this month. :lol:

I think you're dropping the wrong parts for that. Thanks. :)

I need another racing bike like I need a hole in my head. It was gathering dust, and I felt a bit guilty about all the stuff I pulled out. Will be glad to see it get put to good use.

Your guilt is our pleasure.

Racing bike part o crap

And I'm next-next!! I remember looking at the lineup when I signed on and thinking I'd see it in about September. Nicely paced, Crapmaster and Crapolytes.

I'd better get my **** together.

I'm very curious about this rear derailleur you guys are speaking of...maybe [MENTION=348967]J.Oxley[/MENTION] can remove a bunch of the heavy garbage and leave me all the choice high end bits.

The eagle has landed!!

And of course the teaser:

Wow. Kinda Surprised to see the NE edge blown out like that. Sorry about that [MENTION=348967]J.Oxley[/MENTION] - my fault.

It was in sound shape when I shipped, that damage took some effort... Keep the box fresh, all.

You know that VC cap is straight up Portlandia, just sayin'

I didn't. I knew it was something and intended to find out what, but now the finding out part is totally taken care of! :)
And it was already probably a keeper. Now? Definitely.

...It's interesting watching this box evolve (this is my 3rd visit from the BOC). First time around it was nothing but parts. No bags, no boxes, no rhyme nor reason; just a crapload of random pieces from random bicycles. This time around the only actual bike parts I scored are some 29-cent rim strips (how old were those?) which are already in service on my Univega and an owl-shaped bottle cage that my wife totally swooped in on (pun intended) the moment she saw it. And overall the contents these days are far more... eclectic. :)

I've never seen Breaking Away, and no cap shall leave my house unless it's on my head. The two wrenches were just cool. That shifter-boss cable stop is headed straight for my wife's '64 Schwinn (oh hey! that's another bike part!).

An unexpected and interesting haul. :p

EDIT: Anticipated ship date of Monday 9 May, although if things go right it could be on the truck tomorrow.

Did you just say what I think you said???
