Buggybags Has Done it Again
Most of you guys have heard of Buggybags, based in the UK, they make a whole range of gear for kite buggiers, and their work is top class Buggybags.....they are perfectionists
For example, I was pleased with my new buggy, but Jon at Buggybags wasn't, he didn't like the way his race seat fitted against the side rails...
as you can see, my side rails are high and the Buggybags race seat, is a good 100mm below the rails
So, Jon and Helen set to work, and made a special seat specially to fit this buggy
as you can see, the seat now fits the profile of the rails much better
Not content with making the perfect seat for the buggy, he also personalised the seat for me
Yet again, and as always, Jon and Helen have come up trumps and produced a fantastic piece of kit, and their workmanship is as perfect as always

Clamp on back rest, and go from there?
EDIT: sorry for the hijack. Looks killer, Popeye.

You probably don't make anything that'd add a back on a PL Folding buggy, do you? Note that it's the original folder, which has lower side rails than
the folding+.

What a great job they did there at buggybags! Popeye I really like the way they personalized the seat for you.
side note! Although my new buggy will ever be anything as to which you build, I am starting it this weekend! It should be done Sunday! Happy
buggying!

Thank you rocfighter, although I only get to meet Jon from buggybags, once maybe twice a year if I am lucky, but I have worked with him via email and
photos for a few years now, and rarely a day go by without us emailing each other.
He and his wife Helen really do a superb job, and I never have any trouble recommending them, I know you guys will have some hefty shipping costs, but
believe me, you will never need another seat.
Some of his work you can see on my welcome page Here
Just realised the bottom two photos are his very first and last seats he has made........but he has probably made a few more since then lol
.....and you can find out all about Jon at Buggybags Here
