When the BOC thread isn't on page 1, something's amiss...

What if it's on page 1 because of people asking where the BOC is?

I wonder if it's me. It disappeared last year 2 people before my turn and now on second person after my turn.

ecnewell 06-13-17 08:52 PM

Pics of what was kept?

Seems like the BOC should have made it wherever it a was heading by now, assuming it shipped out on Thursday.

Should have a tracking number.

I don't think shaming of any kind works in 2017 - in fact, it's usually the person shaming that gets all the backlash, whether they are totally in their right to do so or not.

I don't envy you your job here, dude. Lived it, lived it up, gived it up ;)

I've got pretty thick skin. I'm sure at some time I'll be ready to pass the crap torch to someone else, just not now.

Hi Crap Master, please add me to the BOC list. Sorry about the PM. I've now read the entire 1st post and will make a solid attempt to follow the rules :)

Having dropped the ball (crap) before, here's hoping zze86 sends it out soon. :D


Velocivixen 06-15-17 01:56 PM

I know I'm coming up real soon to get the BOC. I'm anxious to get my paws in there....

Don't keep a good Vixen waiting. :)

zze86 06-15-17 05:01 PM

Apologies all about not posting. Was out of town over the weekend and came home to see it had been dropped off but didn't actually have a chance to go through it til Monday night I think. Had it in the car to drop it off to the post office on Tuesday but was out in the field late and had to take the company car home. Wednesday, got off late and the PO was closed by the time I got there but FINALLY got it in the mail today! Should be out west by Saturday.

Pics coming.

EDIT:
I see one of my pics made it up already, thanks Gugie (though it confused the heck out of me, "wow,that stem looks just like the one I threw in there")! I totally forgot to take a before pic so the above pic is after I filled it with stuff.

Here's my take:

What are those curved bars? Are they stems, or extensions, or???

I believe they are drop extensions for handlebars. Or at least that's how I plan on using them, lol. Always wanted to try them with a flatbar, bar ends, aero bars, road levers and interruptor levers for the ultimate-fantasic-tackle anything multi-hand position setup!

I think probably everyone said exactly this. I know I did. My money's on clamp-on drops for straight bars. I'm still undecided on whether it gets filed under "Genius!" or "WTF?!" :)

I agree. I hope he posts pics of the eventual build they go on. It'll be something I've never seen before.

Now send me that damn box, [MENTION=448351]zze86[/MENTION]!

Lascauxcaveman 06-17-17 06:16 PM

Paging [MENTION=355580]Velocivixen[/MENTION], imma crap on your doorstep soon! (Waitaminute, that came out all wrong.) What I meant was kindly PM me your address and I shall mail you a heavy large flat rate priority mail parcel to you. Possibly as early as Monday.

Here's how it opened up at work today:

I will carefully consider my selections over the weekend, and repack with maximum allowable un-borked crap.

I know! You can't believe how thrilled I was to meet him in person! And his glowering family on the back page.

Actually, they weren't all that pleasant to hang out with :(
