For those of you that have installed a David Bird hardtail, did you have to grind / fit the top tubes where they meet the backbone? I know that everything metal requires fitting and adjusting and just wondered what your install experiences were. Some people have left the metal plate wrapping around the top tube that the rear downtubes weld to and some have removed them. Is the extra material to allow for those options? It appears to require 0.20" to be removed to make it fit in my case... It was off a little and appeared to be "extra" like it was left that way on purpose by David.
