RS Buggies

[stokeygreg]

What's happening fellow rs buggiers, is there anyone who can get clarification from Ralf himself as to what the score is? here's hoping for good news......

[Maverick440]

Its offical, Ralf has stopped making the RS Buggy and all his stock has gone.

I spoke to him today and he and ill quote "needs to get a life" and has had to stop making the buggy's.

 

Very sad news as the RS was the best value buggy on the markiet, but sadly its no more.....................

Fraid so folks, Mav speaks the truth, only reason the co.uk site is stil up and running is cos i lost the logon details a while ago when I updated my op system

[gavw]

Sad to hear Ralf has called it a day - better look after our RS's as I suppose that means no more spares will be available ??????

[mikeymustard]

the only thing that'll wear out on your Rs is the bearings and tyres, both standard items, and maybe the seat which is also a fairly standard size, so don't worry, the RS will be around for some years yet (I suspect they'll last longer than many other brands such as phoons, rads and PL's)

[Bushy99]

That's bad news. I am sorry to hear that Ralph has jacked it all in, it was a pleasure to deal with him.

No need to worry guys your RS buggies will last a long time. There are plenty of spares available ..................... just phone Libre:D

 

Just a thought .......... I wonder if Pansh may start making a buggy soon

seconded libra stuff fits the RS nice and there swannie is better than the RS one no unsightly plates welded on

 

 

well after mucking about i decided to get a swan neck as well

didnt like the look of the RS ones with those big strengthening plates welded to the side so i took a chance and can verify that the libra swannie fits perfect its also about an inch longer on the down section than the RS ones

 

 

before with standard downtube and old spash guard

Is the material 1000D cordura? your linky doesn't work but I found magna earlier on couldn't believe the price compared to over here

Give Ralf a shout on gura01@web.de he has had to stop making the buggys, but he has told me they he will still supply existing owners with a spares back up service...............

Yep I can vouch for that, fits in my bigfoot RS very quite well, good and deep. May need to be pulled up tight if you are on barrows.
