About Graham Mann
Graham Mann: Builder, Rider, Dreamer
Graham Mann has spent a lifetime with wheels between his legs—riding, tinkering, and dreaming about bikes since the age of three.
From BMX escapades as a kid to tearing up mountain trails as a teen, and even attempting gravity-defying stunts on a unicycle (seriously, a unicycle), Graham’s passion for two-wheeled freedom has been relentless.It all started with a fateful article on bike design in a popular cycling magazine. That seed of curiosity took root in a family tree full of engineers, millwrights, machinists, and fabricators. With a knack for building things and a childhood spent shadowing his father’s engineering career overseas, Graham learned to view the world through a mechanical lens. Six years at Jakarta International School broadened his horizons before he returned to Sherwood Park, Alberta, where he fine-tuned his craft as a millwright.But Graham wasn’t content with just fixing machines—he wanted to create them.
Enter Dale Marchand, the mentor whose expertise and partnership turned Graham’s lifelong dream into a reality. Today, Graham channels decades of riding, experimenting, and engineering know-how into crafting handmade titanium bicycles designed to handle anything you throw at them.Whether he’s on a bike or in his workshop, Graham brings wit, precision, and a tireless spirit to everything he does. Because for him, bicycles aren’t just a mode of transport—they’re a way of life.
