Traveler’s Check boxing for Rick

We are putting together this pictorial for Rick and his Surly Traveler’s Check.  While others may benefit from the information, it is not intended as the absolute.   Because all bicycles are different, the information must be manipulated for each bike and boxing need.

And, you have to read this from the last entry backwards.  

We did not take photos all the steps.  but have some build pictures to start.
