Please tell me where in southern CA you are located?? Perhaps my son would like to come by and see the bike in person.
Thank you...

Dear Mr. Geoff Steele:
Here are some pictures. I didn't know that there are different type of shifters until today another person told me so. You can judge from the pictures. The rest are pretty much original as I understand.
Can you post photos of the bike so people can see its condition? Also give some details about type of shifters (i.e. twist grips on straight handlebar, or thimb shifters on forward, upturned bar ends). Also the brand of derailleurs, types of tires you have on the bike (and their age), and any accessories (bells, lights, etc.) you would be offering with the bike. Also where in southern California do you live? I have a son in the San Diego area who might be interested.
Hi all: I have a 1993? Ryan Vanguard bike for sale in southern California. It is a black bike and in very good shape. I'm asking for $800/OBO. I prefer to sell locally but will take a reasonable offer. Thank you.
