Here's all the bits so far...

Steering, not just for race cars anymore...

The all important user interface...

The new and more elegant post lock...

Remember the FairMobile III? Well I got it in my head to build the Mark IV. Our friends the Blackburn's decided that they needed a FairMobile so I am taking the opportunity to build a replacement for us that will address all of the limitations of the Mark III. I want this one to last forever, therefore the over-engineering is palpable. To wit:
- The cart has an XMAS'Y color scheme - red and green
- The steering is like a bike, a forked post that is mounted on ball bearings
- The handle is so cool, well you'll just have to believe me on this one
- The wheels have bearings for smooth sailing
- The rear axle is moved back to control the pesky wheelies that the old cart would do on inclines
- The post lock operates with one easy to turn handle instead of two thumb screw things
I'll post a "final" picture in a few days.

Just a full metal workshop? Are you sure that's all you want? ;-)
