If you bought it for $500, you must be related to Jessie James. You
probably won't get to many to admit it on this group but I think you got the
Cadillac of recumbents. I have been riding a Vanguard for 4 years now and
love it. Bought mine used for $1400 (I'm not related to Jessie) from the
original owner. I have to head to work, here's a link to the Ryan owners
group (Ryan was the original builder), lots of info there.

Any other questions please feel free to ask me or others in the owners
group. Drop the caps to respond to me by email

I just bought a recumbent bike at a garage sale for $500. It was made
by Longbikes and the model is a Vanguard. I can't seem to find out a
whole lot of information about it other than it seems to be one of the
older recumbent bikes. The bike is in excellent condition.The owner
says he has hardly ridden it for the past 4 years. He bought it from
someone else so did not know how old the bike is but it can't be all
that old as it has an 8 spd cog on the rear wheel. Doing a google
search I found this group. I just wonder if anyone out there knows
anymore about the bike, any pros or cons. It took me awhile to get
used to the under seat steering.

Thanks Ahead
