since there was a question about pipe fittings and a buggy I thought I might share pictures of mine..which is made of about 75% pipe fittings from
home depot...they weren't too thrilled about me setting the whole thing up in the store...but I certainly got a lot of attention and of course
millions of "great" suggestions and ideas from other customers...every body thought I was using the buggy to fly the kite. 
. this was my first welding project and it was super fun.......
this has a new seat and buggy-seat sack for keys, phone snacks etc.....
I am pretty happy with the way it turned out......

art_lessing - 18-1-2008 at 01:36 PM

art_lessing - 18-1-2008 at 05:19 PM

DAKITEZ - 18-1-2008 at 05:21 PM

Well done Dan...quite ingenious, and I really loved the way you have used the materials available to you, to make quite a good looking buggy, the
angles of the goose neck look good. How does it run? have you had any problems or surprises.

hey thanks carl...it rides pretty smoothly...although I think I may have to adjust the height or position of the foot pegs...I tend to get an
occaisional foot cramp just at the wrong time, so I am thinking that I should put the pegs a bit lower...but then the side rails dig in to my
hamstrings...not sure what to do now...but the buggy is very smooth on pavement....
Thanks for the compliments

Nice ride! Good Job! I wanna test drive it.

I have ridden the famous Q-bug and it is a nice ride. the seat is so so comfy with lots of back support. I still get nervous about the foot pegs, I
am afraid I will break my ankle if my foot gets lodged in there. Overall it is a very nice buggy.

I second the comfortable seat statement. I had a chance to sit in it this last weekend. It definately doubles as a lounge chair while waiting for the
wind to blow

Great bug! Looks like something out of Mad Maxx!
