your missing the priest to perform the exorcism
don't worry even if you did have them they would have snapped off any how
and for beach cruising , dosh it down with plenty of holy water and prey it won't rust
And 3 hail Mary's if the seat holds out

So who makes these Kite Trikes? A google search for rockville kite trike gets nothing but people selling them or chatting about them in forums.
Does the company have a website? Anyone know?

They are imported by Cloud 9 Soaring Center, in Utah.

Sometimes offered on their store website, WindyPlanet, but for whatever reason, usually sold occasionally on eBay.

Hey!!! I think I found a rockville for sale here in the Houston area. Virtually new. The poor chap bought it along with a 7m Montana (depower?) for
his first kite after seeing some guys buggying out at Galveston. He says he's a pretty small guy, and needless to say the first time out with the 7m
was a steep learning curve experience.
Anyway, he and his wife just had a baby and...
I hope the buggy will be an okay first buggy for my 13 stone, 6' bod. What do you think? Treble, we haven't met in person so I'm not sure how big
you are. How's your new rockville working out?

Go for it! It's a good starter bug. I sold mine for more than I paid for it.
