Rockmaster Buggy?

aldoushoffman - 28-4-2008 at 09:34 PM

Does anyone know anything about the 2008 model Rockmaster Buggies like the one found on this site Rockmaster Buggy. Does anyone know how the build quality compares with something thats more industry standard (like the PL comp XR or flexbuggy)? Found one new for about $350 with shipping...trying to decide if I want to buy as my first buggy.

Thanks

that Rockmaster is the same as the Rockville buggy. same dude who sells copies of other things. if you do a search on Rockville buggies you'll see all the plus and minuses of it.

IMO the rockville would be good for starting out, but sooner or later you're going to want to upgrade to a) PL or Flexi or b) Libre. Invest in quality now to save you money later.

there is a few folks on here from TX, you might want to meet up with them to try a few different buggies out first.

"Rockmaster"? that's pretty funny.

Ricardo is right. I had a Rockville and soon sold it on Ebay for mor than I paid new, but that was lucky trick of timing when there were none being advertised.

Save time and money in the long run and save up for a Peter Lynn new or late model used (like Eli is selling), or Flexi. Or go more for a Libre
