Buggy wanted!! (Houston area)

Turtlejon - 17-10-2012 at 03:03 PM

Hey! I finally have my ducks in a row, and I am looking for an affordable beginner buggy. This will be used mostly on grass, and some on the beach. I have a 4m and 6m kites, been flying static until I felt comfortable to get rolling. I am north of Houston, I'll be here all winter, and was thinking of going to the dead bird buggy bash, but was hoping to have the basics underway by then.
Thanks!

I know you said you were looking for an affordable beginner buggy, but dylanj423 is selling his Libre Full Race buggy for a mere $750.00, and he's somewhere in that lonestar state. He's been having trouble posting a pic, but it would have to be in pretty poor shape to not be worth his asking price IMO. I hate to promote his buggy, because I so want it for myself, but things just haven't worked out for me in that way yet. I bet if you send him your e-mail, he'll be able to send you some pic's.(sorry, Dylan, if you are unable.)

These are nice buggies indeed! For that price you can't go wrong, once and done!

$750 for a stainless libre full race, delivered... You aren't going to save much by buying a much lesser of a buggy and then pay shipping. Great buggies

Where in Houston do you play on grass?? I normally have to go to Galveston to get decent wind.

you want my buggy... trust me... if you are in north houston, i can deliver for free.... i am in south houston myself... why pay $400 +/- for a decent used when you can pay $750 for top end used?? especially on the beach, stainless is the way to go...

... just sayin...

if you really wanna treat yourself to a screamin deal, i can help you round out the small sizes in your quiver with some world-record style race kites, too :)

Ohhh that buggy, and those kites! I'm getting the VAPORS just thinking about it! Good luck Dylan!

I have an entry level buggy (Flexifoil) and now after getting pretty good at it...I want another one that suits me better. You should listen to people above...Buy this one (great price) and you will not be looking for one in the near future. It wont rust and parts are readily available to make upgrades depending on where you want to buggy.

Hey! Thanks for the replies! That sounds like a great buggy and a fine price for sure! I travel around the country all year, az, Dallas, Des Moines, ny, and Houston, so mostly grass and hard dirt. I wish I could afford that buggy, I just don't have that much to spend...
If anyone wanted to do some kind of partial trade for a tube guitar amp or PA system I could do it, but I just don't have that kind of cash.
Thanks!

I am totally willing to pay shipping, also. It doesn't have to be a local sale. A folding buggy might be attractive...

My son has a Peter Lynn folder he would sell. (He rides a PL Bigfoot now). Brand new seat, closed cell rail pads (pipe insulation) tires in great shape. I'll u2u you pics if you are interested.:wee:
