Some pics of my newest buggy.
I saw popeyethewelder posted links to his newest buggy which made me think to post a few of my own.
Sorry I have no catchy name for mine yet, but I’ll take suggestions!

Origin
The parts came from a lot of places.
Believe it or not most was second hand.
Wheels were old red and black motorcycle rims that I polished and painted blue.
Rear axle, side rails and seat were purchased second hand from eBay.
Front fork, foot pegs, swan neck and side rail covers I did purchased new with the help of John Ellis at Kitebuggyspeedshop.com
I only had to construct the new front and rear axle/bearing assembly to work with the new wheels.

That is one nice buggy. the wheels and tires are extra special. Are those metzler tires? You will have some serious grip if you ride on pavement.
Looking at your buggy makes me want to start bulding my own. Excellent job !!

What is going on at the end of the rear axle? It looks like it lowers the axle relative to the center of the wheels. Is that the purpose?

Camber adjusters
Actually they are camber adjusters for the rear wheels.
I installed them this way to allow the buggy seat to sit lower to the ground.
Since the adjusters are a screw in design. I can flip the axle upright again to gain clearance if I run my small tires or in the future…. skiis.

Brian,
I'll go with the normal disk wheels from Libre.
But what seems to work too are scooter wheels for all terrain surface.

I'm curious how the weight compares between sportbike wheel & tire vs. a bigfoot buggy wheel & tire.

3 bigfoot lights on standard rims with the full 21x12x8 2 ply slicks weighs in at 45lbs.
But BF's are signifigantly wider than the bike rims, I see them being for totally different uses, those bike rims would be killer at speed on a
lakebed where the BF's tend to get a little unballanced at 40+mph.

That looks almost as good as with the bike wheels. I bet the speed would be unbelievable on ice.
