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......

Looking good
I don't remember it looking that long before or did you do some more work to it ?

nope I just cleaned it....its just the angle probably......

that thing must be so heavy.

its about 60 pounds...but I take off quickly

Thats lighter than my 4 wheeler is about 75 lbs.

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!
