The BoC arrived largely in tact yesterday, though the box is pretty beat and does have a tear along the top edge. It's a shame to replace this box with artwork for a new one, but it's gotta be done. I'll grab a new box today, snap some pics of the box and my crap-haul tonight, then get it back on its way to mountaindave tomorrow.
There are some interesting items in the box this go around...the, uh, apron was tempting.

I rather suspect that while it protects the parts better, the sheet metal liner actually inflicts a cost on the box itself...

I bought that mustache tape specifically for the BOC. Saw it at the store on sale and immediately thought "Yep, that's cool crap!"

Holy crap I wish I hadn't seen this. My life will now not be complete until I have a Venkman apron.

Oh good you took my LX rear hub. I repacked it with new grease and new grade 25 balls before I put it in. Cones and races were in good shape.

If you would, kind sir, I'm sure there is some appropriate crap around here looking for a good home.

That chain whip is a 2-time BOC passenger. I claimed it from the BOC a couple years ago, then never used it. (I have a Park as well). The NEXT DAY after I shipped the BOC this time, a friend had me work on his PDG mountain bike, which had one of those AccuShift cassettes that are affixed by a threaded cog. Fortunately I didn't need to crack into the rear hub.

^I decided to grab it as a second whip since it looks like I'll be using a uniglide rear hub (w/ hyperglide cassette except smallest cog) on the winter project. The hub is 7400, so it seems no freehub body swappin' on it.

For me that's half the fun of the game. And I think it's also why people get so upset when the BOC goes missing. Like losing one's prodigal children.
