Hello Everyone


I just want to introduce myself. I'm Patrick and I am in Ventura, Ca. I was really big in to the kites in the mid 90s and still have some Peter Lynn Peels, Quatrefoils (a few sizes) and a few old school delta sport kites. I believe I have a signed Top of the Line North Shore Radical and I MIGHT have an original Revolution quad line, back when they were called "Neos Omega"

Anyway, I have recently dug out my garage and found an original PL buggy with a back rest (used by me 20 years ago) and a bag of parts of brand new frame pieces, wheels and seat webbing. I'm probably going to embarrass myself getting back in to the seat, but eventually I think I will sell the buggies. Does anyone have an idea of their worth? I have been out of it for a long time and looking at the forum now, I see many newer styles and versions.

Thanks and keep the lines tight.
Patrick

Welcome back!

I ride a very old buggy So old it is made by Flexifoil but a PL design. Not even articulated side rails. LOVE my Spring Back, back rest! I bought the buggy used about 10 years ago for $250. I suggest you get out and ride again before considering selling it? If you did sell it, $250 with split shipping should be a good place to start.

I also have a Peel and Quadrafoil XL. The Peel is as new and signed by PL himself. Both kites sit in storage. I ONLY WISH I had the time to give them some air. The kites you have will do the job but newer models are arguably better.



Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.

Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .
