Haven't been able to get this thing outside due to the rain. So she sits in my cramped living room. :D

Don't know how long that smile will last...

Was it extra for customized foot pegs, or did they throw that in...? :lol:

Pretty cool.

Good looking buggy. I am wondering on the lower fork crown, what are the two square inserted pieces for?

Eric, that is a fork lock. So when mounted on a rack the front wheel stays straight up.

I realize the center bolt is to hold the fork straight. How do the two square features spaced 4-6" apart on the lower fork crown figure into this feature?

Kober - thanks, WW wont be long
Jeff - you need to get back out here
Juan - thanks!! Will be stealing some style ques from your buggy. I asked Martin to make me a Di-bond fender for small fork. Not a fan of the plastic mudguard.

My bad, I misunderstood you. If you look at the pic that is from the front, you will see two supports on the fork from that point to the fork legs. Those squares are where they mount.

How much work needs to be done to the buggy rack now?
You know the original cost of the buggy is just the halfway point of what it's really going to cost. :o
I like the recessed head bolt on the top of the fork. :thumbup:

I can see it will be easier to remove and replace bearings.

Not much really. The rests for the axle need new rubber and a clamp installed to secure axle instead of the tie downs I previously used. And a new upright support. If you notice in the pic this one is a little short, and doesn't reach the downtube. It would seat better if I flipped the buggy having the bottom face the rack, but to load it alone would be a chore.
