I was able to exchange email with Keith by using the layzieroadie email address. He also posted some pictures on the WISIL site "for sale" board, under the name Young Monkey. He posted on the forums part of the site.
I owned a Ryan Vanguard many years ago. It was my second recumbent bike, and I enjoyed riding it very much. My early nineties Vanguard had a steering mechanism that was exceptionally well-made, almost a work of industrial art. I think the later Vanguards were not as nicely crafted.
A great design, not appreciated enough by recumbent people. The newer Longbikes Slipstream looks nice too, though I have never tested one.
If Keith's frame included the steering stuff and fork, I would buy it myself.
Safe riding,
Joel Dickman

The offer is definitely not bogus, though the frame is for a Ryan Vanguard, not a Duplex.
And the frame does not include the steering linkage, special fork, and the like.
However, if you have do-it-yourself fabrication skills, this could be a great deal.

Hi Bob:
Appears to be bogus ? I tried to send this person a message to the email address shown in the ad and it bounced three times (no such address). Figured I might pick this thing up and finish it, as I have some parts...maybe enough to complete it. If you see anything else on it, could you let me know ?
Thanks,
Geoff
