Don’t be afraid. Ryan is intense. Ryan is edgy. But Ryan brings that energy to the bike shop every day to serve you. Ryan is the hardest working man at Santiam. He gets things done. Knows how to handle a bike, too. Get to know him.

RIDE, DON’T HIDE! No, it’s not a bad 1950’s horror flick, it’s Troy. The heart and soul of Santiam Bicycle, Troy has traded his wrench for a pick. If you miss him at the shop he’s probably cookin’ up something special out in Granny’s Kitchen. Haven’t visited Granny’s Kitchen? It’s part of the Blackrock Freeride area in Falls City. Find Troy at the shop, or in the woods, he’d love to talk to you about riding. Or digging but actually he'd rather be riding. Hi-Ho!

Steel. Aluminum. Carbon. Rubber. Chris shouldn’t be allowed in this environment. He is not sane. It is not right. He loves bikes. He rides. Alot. He loves the shop. But despite this enthusiasm he has been exiled. You might catch him. On the road. On the trail. Maybe even lurking around Santiam. If they get a leash on him, he’ll be wrenching at your next tour. Should you see him, seek the assistance of a responsible adult. Administer coffee with caution. Get him talking about bicycling. Everything will be okay….

Okay, this isn't Graham. But if Graham were a haggard hippie in a '60s peace march this is pretty much how he would have looked. The guy at Santiam who doesn't really look like this guy but could be him if you really squint, that's Graham. And, you can ask him about '60s peace marches, too.
