Meet the Crew
We’re a bunch of bike geeks who like to go on adventures. We come from a wide range of experiences, from bikepacking to ultra-endurance racing, urban commuting, and pump track shenanigans. We eat a lot of tacos and often have long discussions about the famous “green salsa” at our local taco truck. Lucky for us, we are headquartered in Bend, Oregon, where we have hundreds of miles of singletrack, dirt roads, and lonely pavement to spin the wheels.
Chris Kratsch
Co-Founder
Chris worked in the outdoor industry in sales and customer service for most of his life, so he is meticulously obsessive about making great products and providing great service. Growing up in Southern California, he spent days shredding his BMX bike through the hills behind his house. He’s built more than a few trails in Central Oregon and still loves to put the hammer down riding single track. He’s personally used Old Man Mountain racks on his bikes since 1999 and he’s more than stoked to now own the brand.
Katy Bryce
Co-Founder
Katy is the wordsmith and adult in the room attempting to corral the chaos when needed. She heads up all strategery, administration, and financial oversight duties and makes the taco runs when needed. She digs being way out in the woods with her bike, a few Snickers bars, and her friends. At 5 feet tall, she’s tiny but mighty, and her favorite pastime is taking pictures with really tall people in Europe. She’s also a writer and published guidebook author. Check out her bestselling book – a guidebook for mountain biking in Bend, Oregon.
