Almost enough spares for a complete buggy minus wheels and seat.

I've got a Pagona buggy and I've been extremely happy with it. Getting ready to go to JIBE, I took it all apart for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the workmanship of all the bits and pieces. Everything fit together simply, the way you would expect.

That back rest looks nice, and the full selection of wheels and forks makes this a good deal.

Correction, this is the Iguana model because it has the back rest.

I was just talking with Jim the other day about our Pagona buggies. I saw this and first though was it was the Iguana because of the back rest bar - the front fork though isn't the original Iguanna and you did mention the wider back axle with cant adjustment so that would be iguana as well. It looks like you have a mix of parts from both models and then a custom modded fork from a Cameleon. Looks good.
But whatever, the Cameleon has been a good buggy for me and this is a nice package with all the options (mind you the short axle looks funny to me) - another good thing about the design is the ability to flip the axle with flanges pointing up or downward so the seat will sit lower for smooth surface or sit up a bit higher on a lumpy beach or wherever.

Sold to ColinW. Thank you.

From the factory, I believe the side rails designed to bolt to the axle flanges rotated on top of the axle for the fork geometry to be correct. I know this gives the option of seat ride height. But if the fork geometry is too "chopper" like and angled forward, the steering will tend to "drop" into the turn and potentially cause an unintentionally tight turn. At high speed on a grippy surface that could lead to an OBE. For a more stable straight line fork geometry, the forks should be relatively "upright." I notice one of these side rails set allows for the fork angle to be adjusted.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here.

If anyone has the correct technical safety knowledge and advise on this matter please contribute, as I don't have the high speed buggy technical experience here. And want ColinW and son Joey to have a safe high speed buggy ride on the dry lakes! Have fun guys!

Thanks for the contributions guys.
Good to meet you Colin and family!

I always had mine set low on the playa and on smooth beaches and have always been comfortable and in full control. I like the low ride and I only set it higher when riding my local beaches with driftwood - that's running on barrows all the time.
And although the surface on the dry lake is grippier than a smooth sand beach it's still quite easy to slide tires - not quite as grippy as riding on asphalt.
