Making my own buggy - any plans

whiffin - 2-7-2005 at 02:17 AM

With £ being short, and my new kite coming Wednesday I want a buggy.

Rather than buy one which I really can't afford I was going to make one. I can get my hands on steel bike frame parts easily, and can weld, so was gonna knock one up, but some wheels and give it a go - if I like it I could buy a proper one.

Anyone got any plans on how to make one, i.e. dimensions etc ...???

Would make my life much easier.

I'm 5'8" and about 13st

Cheers

Brilliant cheers

Unfortunately no speaky french or german - but I may get a translator if I can't find a british one

What I ideally want is a really simple one using old bike bits etc ... Imay just have to make one myself!

How about using
http://babelfish.altavista.com/
for translation use

erkens..........which software are you using or copied from for the plans??????? unziping is ok..........but cannot open the .cdr format.
Let us know.

Was using google to translate - but never the same

I haven't opened those plans yet, but assumed that CDR was Corel Draw

Format is in Corel draw, and is a real good buggie !

I took the german buggy plans and used altavista to translate the text, and converted the images to .jpgs.

Hopefully this will help some of you.
