It has just been brought to my attention that the Ryan Owners Club website (www.ryanownersclub.com) has some really bad links. The worst is that the link to...
Wow a cross dresser site. Now that's something I would pay to see, a cross dresser riding a Ryan Vanguard or maybe even a Duplex:-). Mike _____ From:...
http://denver.craigslist.org/bik/947802980.html Is this old news? (posted 6 Dec) Being sold by someone here? If the bike is for real, the price would...
What I meant was that _anyone_ riding a Slipstream should be considered by ardent Vanguard riders to be a crossdresser, or at the very least, a crossrider. ...

Hello fellow recumbent cyclists. I've just joined this group with a Longbikes Gulfstream. I'm hoping that, although not a Ryan owner, there is some solidarity ...
Welcome. I was in Geraldton one time and loved it. Too bad I didn't have my Ryan with me. Come to think of it I didn't even know what a recumbent was back...
Welcome, Colonialrider! We're not too snobbish here about Longbikes versus Ryan. I had to buy a Longbikes Vanguard when my Ryan Vanguard was stolen a few...

Have I already sent a post? Thanks to all those who rsvp'd a hello. Good to see someone has visited here. I've posted a shot of the new tandem, and the one it...
Nice pics, thanks. When was this Vanguard built? Mine was built in 96. I noticed several differences, the back support, and the disc brake mounts just to name...
That was probably my Vanguard, if you saw the pictures in this group. It looks like the low-rider that's on your tandem you replaced with the Gulfstream....
I like the looks of the rack -- thank you for the link. What kind of panniers work best with such a rack as installed on a Vanguard/Duplex? Paul Chantilly, VA...
Take a look at the Delta Compacts and the Ortlieb Back Roller Classic. The Ortlieb are completely water proof and the Deltas require a waterproof bag if you...
Thanks for the offer Len. Yes, I'd like to see how it mounts to the front. I see you say you have a mid-rack too. I asked Greg to fit me a midrack under the...
OK I must apologize to everyone for being so behind in updates! But I have added many updates including several Scrapbook pages with photos and descriptions...
The mid-rack on our bike is home-made, it was just a three pieces of 3/8 alum rod that I bent up and welded together with a small plate and used line clamps to...
I've had good luck towing a Burley trailer behind my Vanguard, though I haven't been touring now for several years....

I have always wondered what it would be like putting loaded panniers way out there on the front; I take it some people have tried it and not found it to be a...
I mounted a rack on the front of my Vanguard and attached front panniers to the rack for a cross country ride in 1999. It works as long as you don't put too...
When we tour we use a pair of Arkel TT-87's along with a pair of GT-28's on the front rack, with out the racks the bags empty weigh 19.7 pounds. Then if you...
