Flexifoil Buggy


My new Flexi buggy arrived yesterday. Couldn't wait until weekend so, I just spread them out and assembled it last night.

I like the way it looks but seat is not as comfortable as my previous Libre VMax. But that's ok, as I bought this for my girlfriend Jennie and I am getting Libre Full Race soon :smilegrin: In case you are wondering, Jennie doesn't buggy. As a matter of fact, she doesn't like kites. I bought this for her hoping she can enjoy riding buggy behind me without hassle (so she calls) of flying kites.

Assembly wasn't rocket science but had some problems though. One bolt that holds downtube was damaged and I had to cut it out. Another one is Splash Guard rubber bands keep coming off plastic end. I melt a bit of the end and put them back but I think it is matter of time until it happens again.

Anyway, here it is

Just "A" shape metal. I saw a Libre towing hitch and it has a thick rubber at the tip of "A" shape so it moves up and down without bending metal. I thought it was an excellent idea.

I am going to ask hardware store if they cut or/and drill wholes for me. - Brian

zloty, I thought you already have one or two. As a matter of fact, I made my mine about flexifoil buggy after seeing yours in many of your pictures (or was I looking at someone else :o). Are you replacing yours regularly?

Brian
I work at a machine shop and could fab something up if you can't get something adequate from the hardware store. We could work some sort of partial trade for the 2m sammi if at some point you want to sell it. Will work for kites:tumble:

When are you guys going to hit Dillon again. I would love to join you guys out there. Wade

wtb it's easy-when wind will come.No really, I go on the beach almost every time it's above 10mph onshore.Lately wind doesn't cooperate,so I'm looking foward to check shoreline again this Sunday.I become so desperate that I ride now even perfect north or south.Probably will show up with Elton.
