Like the side steps. Talk of a spare wheel holder gives me a flash of anxiety about getting a puncture when for years I've not worried about such !

Great you are collecting and preserving the Bugles. I keenly await news of your next Bugle purchase.

never had a  puncture in my life hugh  even after a trip to the south of france years ago     so keeping fingers crossed    was going to buy   a  very special  ruska   buggy   bugle copy    a few months ago   but in the end  i decided against it as was not cheap,    do you ever venture up north

Made it to the Filey/Scarborough gathering a couple of weeks ago which is 'half' north - well viewed form Herefordshire it is!


Had a slow puncture last week on a rear wheel and you couldn't tell
it was 3psi from looking at it. Obviously not right to knowingly drive on such a tyre but a daily car tyre would look flat. I try to make sure the buggy tyres are not cracked through age as the tread is deceptively deep.

Looks good Duncan keep a build thread. As for punctures we had 6 on a two week trip to spain years ago and had to buy a new plant tyre inner tube.
