@crandress Please add my name back into the rotation. I am trying to refine my collection of crap and have an excess.

The box has landed in Dubuque Iowa!
Grimm keenly wanted to know what this was all about:

Hmmm, this smells interesting...

There is some really nice crap in the box, a couple items I considered taking just so I would have an excuse to get another frame, but those items should go to someone who can really use them. I am waffling on a couple things and will post pics of my take after I decide.

You can tell Boulder Bikes has some experience selling on eBay: undersell, over-deliver unless you want lousy feedback.

I just recently used a pristine aluminum spoke protector, aka: dork disc, on a friends bike. Picken's were pretty slim back then, lol.

Crapmaster @crandress please put me back on the list for another go around. I culled a totally borked item from the box for unceremonious disposal last time I pawed through it. Upon reflection, and expenditure of much time and great expense, I have made it functional while at the same time preserving an aura of crappiness that should suffice and shall run it back through the mill. In the meantime, Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all the good folk here!🎅

Dang, ain't that always the case? I still feel a tiny bit guilty about one particular piece o' crap I pulled out of the box last time, which I still haven't got a use for. I know I must. I know I will. Otherwise it's just nice crap sitting in my drawer, waiting to go back in the box

Well the box was shipped out Monday. Tracking says it was in Iowa City on Tuesday, then nothing until yesterday when it cryptically just said it would arrive later than expected, but is on the way. I hope this is not a prelude to it being lost! Probably just because its that time of year. Or it was really heavy, maybe they needed to inspect it. hmmmmmm

Dear Crandress,
please put my name back on the list. I am ready to be crapped upon, and to bestow my crap onto others.

Dear Crapmaster,
Upon the bump of this thread, I thought to check my post count. I have read and understand the rules, and would like to submit my request to be added to the crap list.
