The hardtail kit arrived Sunday. I just ordered it on Thursday and it arrived here on Sunday well packed and in great shape. Inventoried all the included hardware, everything that is suppose to be there is there. Awesome job TC Bros.

The included instructions are detailed (and can be found online here) and seem pretty straight forward.

I measured and marked the cuts on the backbone and lower frame rails per the instructions. The backbone cut is 13 3/4″ from the neck tube. The lower rails are 4″ from the lower transmission mount.

Marked off the measurements with painters tape.

Double and triple checked (seriously like checked and rechecked and then checked again, I don’t want to screw this up) the measurements. Pretty sure all is right. Going to wait till my grandson is here to cut it up… he will get a kick out of that 🙂

I kid about measuring 3157 times… I think it was a lot more times than that, but I lost count.

Build. Tinker. Ride.
