ABOUT THE BUILDER
Raised on a steady diet of hard work and long country roads, Iran Ryan now lives in Puddle-town USA (aka Portland), where he has been building, riding, racing, crashing and having fun on bikes for a long time. He started Ira Ryan Cycles in 2005 and has been building bikes for people who actually ride bikes since day one.
Being a one-man show is hard sometimes, but the chance to develop a better bicycle to fit a person’s needs is the best part of his job, and what keeps him going. He strives to learn how to make bikes better, lighter and stronger but with a touch of class, tradition and history – keeping the craft something that everyone can understand.
Ira has built over a hundred bicycles since he opened the doors of his workshop. They are all the result of a love affair with the bicycle as a tool for discovery, a vehicle of efficiency and one of the most elegant machines man has ever made.
