Tom,
I fear for the postal workers who have had to lift the Exalted Box O' Crap, and hope they have not been seriously hurt in the transport of the BOC. I also suspect the excessive weight of the BOC has prevented more than one flight of the postal service from flying. Smiles, MH

It would help if I knew what size you need. I have two mid eighties Treks that will be leaving MH's stable this year due to his shrinking stature. 58cm and 57cm are just a bit too tall for the boys to fit comfortably over. Both are going to need repaints and MH is in a quandry as to whether to powder coat them at Pro Kote Indy before letting them leave or leave with some smoke damage in "as is" condition. Those 770s and the 760 (or was it a 670?) were great rides back when I could fit over them. Anyway some size information might help, and the co-op might have something appropriate for ya. Smiles, MH

Box arrived. Digging the new clear plastic cover:
As usual, it was filled with some useful stuff, barely useful stuff, and some truly crappy stuff. I've had the box hit my front porch maybe a half dozen times now, this is my lightest haul yet , as it just didn't have much I needed or wanted in it this time.
Can't have too many headset washers...
Box is on it's way to @natterberry

Been awhile, @natterberry, did the box cave in your porch?

Hi everyone,
I just checked USPS tracking and it states that the package is arriving late, but it is still on its way to its destination.
I will update you all when it gets to me.

I've been waiting for a package from Universal Cycles that was last seen in Portland on 7/25. Hopefully we'll have better luck.

BOC Folks,
I am not in on the BOC club but can speak to shipping which is now super slow thanks to all the cutbacks that the postal service is enduring....I was waiting for a PKG from Bakersfield to L.A. which is about 1-1/2 hours away 112miles to be exact......over 3 weeks to get here, I could have biked there and back sooner.
Oh well, I hope it gets to the next victim err person soon.

My bank suggested I come into a branch for my new debit card because the mail is so slow right now.
