Actually, if you look closely, they are actually there but are painted
black and hard to see. Looks as if they were remanufactured for the new
design. Judging by the little I can see of the frame, I'll bet the entire
front frame assembly has been re-engineered for a different design
suspension too. The crossbar is probably attached to something more
substantial (not visible) on the other side of the sheet metal. I wonder
what left of the footboxes though? Better have small feet to drive this
one...'-)
