I'm gonna cut and re-mitre the downtube(too long),that will increase the angle of the downtube a bit more. But the rake is gonna be the same.

How is changing one angle not going to affect another?

The powder coat guy I talked to indicated he could do a buggy for about $50-75 unless it needed blasting or lots of cleaning. It would be alot more durable than paint if it works out for you.

That is sweet work - I've welded aluminum in the past and found it one of the more tricky materials to work with - so again, amazing job. Nice design work - I like the over and under for the side rails and looks like you really made your front end adjustable - a footpeg hole for every month of the year.

we all believe is called the expansion

It looks like the back axle is removable. Is it actually? Where the side rails join the downtube is exactly like the PL buggy is. Is that enough surface area where the round side rail tubes meet the plate on the downtube when using Aluminum? That is really a high stress area and could flex when hitting rough spots. I'm sure you have it all worked out and its somewhere around bulletproof level so I'm just asking your thoughts.
