Rs vs. Rockville vs. Peter lynn comp buggy
RS vs. Rockville vs. Peter lynn comp buggy
I am wondering about the performance differences between these three:
Stability
Turning
Durability
Packing size
I am looking for something that will last years without much maintenance.
Thanks.

go with the XR+ or Flexi ... more mod options
both models can pack down into a bag quite easily
speedster Sthrasher38 will comment on the Rockville
RS Buggies still being made?
if you live in USA youll have to hunt one down. since no one carries one here. (i think you can buy direct) ... at the UK Pound rate, you can have a
Libre.

In the same price range did you consider the Libre Sprinter? But maybe a great comfortable seat, a buggy that doesn't bend nor do the foot pegs twist
around, turns great, is very stable cause you are in a nice deep seat and the buggy geometry is right, as compact as the others listed, steel coated
with zinc then black powder coated for a low maintenance buggy that does not rust, and Libre make them to last.

The rockville is not a bad starter bug. But it has issues. Alot of problems with the seat and my foot pegs are killers. For comfort and duriability I
would get something else. I got it real cheap and have no regrets I got my money out of it and has served me well for learning. Getting all new stuff
soon. I will also be looking at libre.

Of what I've seen, the Peter Lynn Comp XR+ ranges from 400$-700$ brand new. I havent been able to find any Libre Sprinters for under 1000$
Do you know of a place that sells them cheaper?
Thanks

Send me an email @ kbss@iinet.com for the price in the ranges you mention above for other buggies. I have one left at the good price but be aware the
Euro is now at 1.30 per.
The Sprinter is on the Special frame with a wider axle, better seat, splash guard, new dragster type pegs just to mention a few new upgrades that are
stock from Libre on the Sprinter. It is a buggy you can start with and will have down the road when you stepup to the HARDCORE, or Full Race Strong.
