I’m looking at purchasing a used Ryan Vanguard LWB USS. The original owner doesn’t recall what year it is. He guessed ’94. Looking at the components, but not really sure which are original or not, I’m guessing ‘97ish.

The front derailleur is Shimano LX. The rear derailleur says “mountain LX”? Not sure if that is how Shimano marked it or if its an off brand. 7 speeds in the rear, the middle chain ring is Suntour “power stroke”… I’m assuming it’s elliptical.

The bike appears to be in impeccable shape. If you were in the market, what would you pay? What vintage would you guess?
