I am selling my Vanguard after several years of intermittent use. It is an early 90s model, red with nice paint, good tread, rear carrier with flashing led...
Ah, thanks for that, it did the trick. $18 including tax and now things don't squeak or wobble around anymore. 68 mm shell, 122 spindle length with square...
greetings from a new member. we're selling our ryan duplex. iirc, we purchased it in ~2000, have put maybe 2k miles on it and just never "took to it" as well...
Can anyone look over this persons questions about the Vanguard on EBay right now and get back with him? The link to the bike on EBay is below. He is not on the...
Hello Bob! This bike has been on eBay now for the 4th time that I know of. It started out around $700 and just didn't sell. I thought about it, but it just...
A friend pointed out the pictures to me. The front brake is an old design called a roller cam brake. It was popular on the early Tour Easy bikes as well,...
Folks, I have interest in finding another Vanguard. I'd prefer one close to Louisville KY, but will consider others. I'd prefer a '94 or newer. Components can...
Tom, I might be selling my Vanguard soon. I do not know when it was made, I bought it second-hand ~4 or 5 years ago. The bike is fully functional, I commute...
Tom, I have a nice Vanguard that you might be interested in. I bought it six or eight years ago and have not been able to use it the way I had hoped here in...
I found this group from the Ryan Owners Club page, but it seems as if the club page has not been updated for a while. Anynone know if its a dead project or...
Hi Bill, Welcome, this is Bill in Eugene Oregon, we're watching, and yes we're lazy too. The kickstand mount and underseat hardware along with the steer...
Bills, et al, I found some sheet plastic at a junk yard and cut two sets of plates that are slightly larger than the two bolt holes (at least enough to extend...
Reinforcing the holes with 'sandwiches' of plastic disks on either side should stop the cracking. The Zipper material is neither thick, nor crack-resistant....
I called up Zipper and they sent me some scrap pieces of lexon and some glue he had left over. I trimmed the pieces to extend past the cracks. It worked for...
Mike, Before your next repair try drilling a small hole (1/8" or so) right at the end of the crack. This is a trick I have used before with good sucsess on...
Sounds like this is a problem common to many (most?) of us. My solution was to buy a roll of clear heavy-duty plastic packing tape from Staples. I cut a length...
Good Idea, thanks. That was also suggested to me for my kayak which developed several cracks where the seat is attached to the cockpit cowling. Mike. ... From:...
On Bentrider Online I came across an item about a recumbent clothing dealer closing down his business and he has Mt. Borah recumbent short sleeve jerseys and...
Over the winter, I hope to update and expand the "Tips" link and maybe write a little more about my Duplex and rebuilding/restoring an older, very tired,...
I have posted some pictures of the details of my Vanguard. It wasn't nice enough out to do any full bike pics. Any comments on dating the bike from the photos...
Cool. I've seen it twice now. However, since I am new to the forum, how can we tell if it is indeed from Mr. Dick Ryan? I rode my Vanguard today. Cold. Cold....

Great video !! Dick, are you in production again and selling the bikes ? If so, are you doing direct via Internet, or will you also be doing dealers ? Also,...
Yes, the seat mount geometry was sure different than mine (didn't know whether it was newer or older...you confirmed 'older', I think). I wonder when the...
