Please put me back in, Chris! I've recently sold off a bunch of frames, so the parts bins are running full.

Bo'C is on the way. Sorry for the delay....my wife thinks I should be banned for life!
Also, when re-taping the poor box together, I noticed I left out a roll of green Hunt Wilde tape. if someone takes the one still in the B.O'C., let me know and I will mail you the orphan roll.

Yes, you're right -- just checked on a couple of my own purchases, nothing to get spooked over. I guess it's publicly available anyway, so USPS would not be wise to put detailed info up -- didn't think of that earlier...

Candress: please add me back to the list.
And also a big thanks to whoever put in the Baush and Muller head/tail light combo a few rounds ago. I finally built a bike around them:

Just don't ever buy a SON Edelux light... or the B&M might end up back in the BOC. 
That's one sweet looking ride! And to answer the question in your lovely build thread, almost: I built my Trek 710 around a pair of first gen Cyclone derailleurs I bought.

Thank you sir! The B&M headlight is fine for being seen, but not really an illuminate-the-road-at-night light.

The built-in reflector is nice too if the bulb burns out on you.

I think it best we do not post the tracking info in the public forum. While there is limited info, I think we should error on the side of caution. Please just IM tracking info to the recipient.
Thanks - Chris

Oh most exalted Crapmaster,
I removed the offending post so as not to reveal the names and tracking info to the recipient. Unfortunately all pics were lost as well, but likely for the best. Suffice it to say the bent fork and decal for a BOC bike was the major takes from the BOC. I sure hope the next recipient figures out how to repack that much crap into the rather small box. My local postmistress informed me that it would otherwise cost close to $75 to ship it. Thanks USPS for the huge discount! Thanks for letting me play. Your humble BOC servant, MH

Please put me in so I can exchange some of my crap for some crap in the box. Meanwhile, here is a picture of a bike with BOC parts. I retrieved both hubs from different BOC. The rear is a 7 speed Shimano free hub that I cut down to fit 126 mm OLD. The front is a Specialized sealed bearing hub that came right after I found the Schwinn's hub was damaged. Lastly, there is a Schwinn tail light I got from a recent BOC.
