Well, WTB is a little strong, I don't have any money otherwise I'd buy a new set for nice weather, but does anyone have an old wheelset in storage they could...
Hi! I am looking at buying a used Ryan Duplex Tandem. I haven't found much on the internet about them and was hoping you might give me some insight and what a...
I saw a couple of Ryan Vanguards on eBay a year ago $1,000 and $1,200. Iıd start at $1,500 for the tandem. It would be a place to start. Itıs a classic....
There is a Ryan Duplex on Craigslist for $1200. I think it's in TN. There are no pics. I don't recall ever seeing a pic of one with square tubing but I'm new...
I maybe wrong but my guess is that it's not a Duplex because of the square tubes. As for the price, remember they don't make the Duplex any more and the...
I don't know about the square tubing...doesn't sound right but I have a black duplex that isn't getting enough use in central Indiana that if anyone around...
Hi Tom! I am very interested in your duplex. I have been looking for one for some time. My granddaughter has outgrown the Burley Piccolo trailer-cycle I ...
As I recall, Dick Ryan made a few square tube Duplex tandems as an experiment to try and come up with a lower cost bike. I also recall him putting up a square...
Does anyone out there have a solid Ryan Vanguard frame they might want to sell? I only would need the frame, fork, and seat. I would not need any components,...
I wouldn't think that particular area would warrant a new frame. Now if it was the head tube or one of the other tubes that was repaired that would be a...
Bob, I was faced with a similar decision several months ago. After a long discussion with Greg Peak at Longbikes, I decided to purchase a frame from him. The...
Getting a frame from Greg at Longbikes is another good option. He built the bike for Dick for awhile and may still have the jigs, etc. He certainly knows how...
After years of planning and saving, this summer was the year to take my dream ride, or so I thought. It was to take me around Lakes Huron and Erie with a side...
Hi Bill: What's your age ? I spent 27 years commuting to/from my office in downtown DC from Arlington, VA. Virtually all of this was on diamond-frame bikes,...

While I haven't been to a doctor to be diagnosed, I'm very certain I have the same problems in both knees. I believed I injured both knees in the 80's while...
I have a Vanguard frame for sale, it needs to be sand or bead blasted and painted, but is basically in sound condition. $200 plus shipping. Dick Ryan 781...
Geoff, Billy, Bruce........... Thanks for your replies. I really wasn't expecting peoples concern and help so I'll give you better details on my situation. I...
Hi Bill: You added "fibromyalgia" to your discussion venue here...and that's an important factor. May I offer an additional thought ? Diet is crucial in many...
I just received the Vanguard frame I bought from Dick Ryan and already have a fork and seat frame, and was thinking if I only had the steering assembly/seat...
I have a 1992 Vanguard which has a roller bearing that the handlebars pivot on. Does anyone know where I can buy a roller bearing like that? I would think...
Chris, I'm not sure what it is. There is no telling what was used, however, I'd suspect that, as you say, it is a standard bearing. Most likely, but not ...
Apparently your '92 differs from my '96, as mine has a simple bushing arrangement. I wish mine had bearings, I could get them to stay adjusted more easily. ...
Chris, You sent me digging through my notes in the basement. I have a May 2000 Longbikes Slipstream. I'm not absolutely sure that our bikes are the same, they...
Thanks for all the suggestions. I took the handlebar bearing out of my 1992 Vanguard months ago and found it is a roller bearing but did not look closely...
Hi, My uncle owns a pristine condition black 1999 Ryan Recumbent Vanguard he'd like to sell (which I'm handling for him). Paul suggested I post to this group...
