That seat looks quite a bit more comfy. I hope to get a ride in it next time we get together. What does that buggy retail for?

my sisters boyfriend got a viper 2.6 from you last month and he's ripe for a buggy--this might get it done for him, depending on price--

Somewhere between $600 - $650. About $100 more than a PL. I will say the seat on the Flexi is more comfortable for us larger folks than the PL. You
small people like my little CanAsian buddy fit fine in either of them

Did you break 100lbs yet?
Come on down and give it a ride. It would be good to see you again. You can pass as 2 years old or under so you get a plane ride for free

What is that peg/ shaft behind the axle mount point for? I'm led to believe it's to prevent the forks from rotating completely 360 degrees. Do all
Flexi buggies have it? Also looks like there are plenty of downtube length options. Is it any longer than the original Flexi bug?
P.S. That red fork drive me nuts. If I got my hands on one the first thing I would do is paint it black to match the rest.

yes it stops it from rotating 360 ... so the freestyle guys will probably want to cut it off.
i still lke the SS version more.
*** off topic ***
lots of REDBULL in everyone's vehicle. thx to CSA_D it was flowing like water. too much BuFFeT with De Dutch.
also the 400 Nip (chicken) Nuggets and 1 Diet Coke didnt help too.
Maria and Stephan had this idea to go order this.
whoop whoop kiteloop!!!

Kind of shocked at the price, seems they really cheaped out on quality IE: no stainless and same price as we paid for our stainless bugs. Still love
mine even if its on it's fourth axle...lol. Had to send the PL carbon back but really want one, super axle and helps take a little of the jolt out
when jumping.

I hear ya on the price. The sad part is the dealers are making basically no money on it. The good news is it is a nice buggy. Screwy had a good time
on it.
