People in large cities should organize box-0-crap parties. I should have done that when it arrived here at my office the other day; I could definitely have gotten a few bf members to share in the fun. Oh, well, maybe next time.

B'o'C arrived today. Heavy as all get out. I did remove several items and I put several back in.
Forgive me, but a couple of items just needed to come out and stay out, go to the trash. I did so.
They were replaced with nice stuff. The box is in decent shape, the only problems it has is from being too full.
It will survive the next leg, I'm sure. I was to wait until the decals arrived, but I'll chase the box with the decals, no biggie.
Items I removed all fit into a 3-quart freezer ziplock bag. I kept it useful.
Nice variety. I think something is growing on that saddle pad/cover.
I did not take all of these....
Marines are softies for Zippo's
(especially with a 531 decal on back).
Packed up and ready to go.
The box leaves tomorrow, already labeled, for Henry III.................

I swear those weren't from me! Or maybe it's just Rob's attitude toward vintage 3-speed items.

Well, he did say it was super heavy - like that's a bad thing.

The CrapMaster has looked into the rules. As the B.O.C. is constituted, those rights not specifically taken by the B.O.C. organization are considered states rights. Er, herd of cats as the case may be.

They should change the term "Swap Meet" to Crap Meet. And not just for bikes: I mean, generally.

I see by tracking that it's in Henry III's general location....he should see it today or tomorrow.
Unless he finds a way to decrease the volume, it may be time for a new box soon.....

Box arrived this morning in relatively decent shape! I missed seeing decorated box like the first BOC box used to be. I nabbed two orphan skewers, a odd smelling Cinelli water bottle and the brake calipers. I think I have some choice goodies to toss in. If I get my work done this morning I'll hopefully be able to get it back out today to Tom Reingold.

Arrived about 10am and then removed calipers, two random skewers, decals and the used yellow bar tape. Added a crap load of goodies! Sugino crankset, brand new bicycle billfold, couple of stems, Breaking Away dvd with extra dvd inside, Swiss stop carbon brake pads, bag of crank dust covers, orphan shimano mtb crank arm and rings. The box tipped in at 18.5 lbs!
What I took(bar tape not shown)
What I all added. Enjoy!
Maybe if you haven't seen the movie watch and pass it along for others who might not of. Just an idea.

Thanks, @Henry III. For future reference, the idea is to tease people with a picture of the packed but not-yet-sealed box, not show all the good crap you added.

1. Find and true a steel wheel for a neighborhood kid, preferrably the AMF Roadmaster model used in the Little Indy 500.
2. Belt out an aria while riding your bike. This must be done at volume, and in public. Someone's head must turn and watch you as you ride by.
3. Kiss the mail carrier when an important bicycle related package is delivered.
Thus the Crapmaster has written, thusly it shall be!

The BOC arrived last night. I got home really late and was too tired to go through it. I'll do so tonight. I opened it, and on top was a most wonderful gift -- at least I assume it was a gift to me -- from @Henry III. Thank you, Henry! There were bike components under that, and I only looked at the top layer before realizing I need to do this when I'm not about to fall down.
Here is the BOC as it arrived.

I'm getting BoC stress. I'm worried that my crap is too crappy or not crappy enough. I know how Goldilocks must have felt.
