I'm in the process of converting the garage into winter-mode so I will be setting aside stuff that fits the category of "one's trash is another's treasure", and this being C&V there is a whole realm of possibilities. In fact I've already got something in mind. (Might add some weight to the box though.) (Also probably be best if I'm not home when it arrives since our postal carriers do the route by foot and shoulder bag.)

Hey all. Boy, it's getting close!

Just so it is clear, I will be out of town from Thursday, October 25th to Sunday, October 28th. Hopefully that doesn't put a hang-up in the forward progression.

1st pic:


Here's the as found pic. I've got a couple things picked out but want to double check usefulness on one or two items. I've also done the quick crap collection in the shed to add back to the box and I'll do a more thorough dig tomorrow. I've got a couple things stashed at the shop to go in as well...

Er. . . I flashed my phone and er. . . delete pictures. I can retake. . .



Um. . so I really only meant to keep the pedals, but when I re taped the box I discovered the cables and derailleurs didn't make it back in. . . le sigh. Not that there was any room left after the stuff I put in (no Raleigh parts this time, sorry but also no uniglide crap either so I guess its a push.)

I thought about those gloves, too! As with you, they were WAAAYYY too small for me.

The bike racks were a real score for you.

SO, are most of these parts for vintage bikes, or literally is it a crap shoot on what they will fit?

I am loving this thread and concept.....very tempted to sign up for it, but I am not too savvy with my Schwinn and what parts may/may not fit. HMmmm.....decisions.

What the hay, sign me up for the BOC. Any idea of round about when I might see it?

Looks like a good start again, I just picked up a NOS set of those Spenco gloves in XL. I may have to sign up for a third time since what I put in the last time never made it around ( I'm cleaning the shop up today/this week) & I will have a bunch more things to put in.

I'm going to swing by the PO and pick up a fresh box at lunch today. If all goes smooth I should be able to ship this afternoon... tomorrow at the latest.

Andy -

Why did you not mention you were in Puyallup? Obviously, I should have noticed by now, but come on! Haha!

Getting my crap together still. Have a few things that I will put in if they are worthy.

^I know, I didn't notice you were in Renton until I wrote the address on the box. We'll have to hook up for a ride sometime. You should join us for our "night at the races" outings next summer.

Oh, man - that is funny; Andy, think of the money you could've saved

Thanks for the pics from the last couple of go-arounds; looks like there's some decent stuff in the box.

For those of you wanting to be added to the list: please read page one/post one before asking me to put you on the list. So we avoid any more issues such as the type we've endured lately, everyone going into this should know exactly what to expect - and what's expected.

Oh well, part of it would have gone to gas I guess. Could've hooked up for a ride maybe or at least gotten a peek at his crap

So here's what I took:


The roof rack parts I mentioned earlier, a bottle cage for the wife's handle bars, some cool trouser clips, 36 spokes, and a pair of cleats. Thanks guys, it'll all go to good use.

BOC weight - 19lbs-14.8oz.

I need to get much better before even thinking about riding with anyone else.
