Hey Ali
Isn't yours an XR+ ?
The ST buggy has thinner tubing all round. At 16 stone hard riding (bouncing) will start to bend the rear axle and it's the older comp buggy seat.

It's a good price but for your weight you might find a used XR+ at the same price is a better ride for you. Unfortunately the one Mike has for sale is in Vegas - it would work out to the same price with the exchange rate.

I have no idea how many stones The Kidd and I are. But I am 200lbs. and he is heavier. We have a PL std. He uses it mostly but I use it when the wind it to light to move the Rat. We are both over 6" as well.

I remember a few years ago someone asking what a stone was and the always clever Andrew Beattie reply: " a pound is to a stone as a day is to a fortnight"

(some people are probably now wondering what's a fortnight?)

Convert Kg <> Lbs <> Stones

Good if your vet is British or your pet attends off-shore weight-loss programs. :rolleyes:

Just for conversion purposes, anyone that has google or knows how to get there (he he he), Google has a nifty conversion tool built right into the address / search bar.

Just type in:
16 stone to pounds
and it will give you the conversion automatically.

Once you get this neat tool figured out, try this:
15 knots to MPH
or
1 pound to dollar
Or
1 euro to dollar
or
12 ounces to kg
.....the conversions are pretty much endless.

Anyways, for the buggy, I have always recommended moving up to the XR+ if at all possible. The ST will work for you but the XR+ is just so much better built and stronger that it should always be desired.

Hope that helps.

I understand, but the XR+ is only about 80-100 bucks more than the ST. Well worth the extra. As said though, if you can't afford the extra for the XR+ then the Standard will work just fine.
