Jim Rose (Owner)

Jim Rose spent his childhood in Guilford, Connecticut. He moved to Orono in 1979 to attend the University of Maine and has called the town home ever since. He has two sons, Angus and Cam. Jim's favorite ride is the Dedham loop and his favorite vacuum cleaner is any of the ten or so Electrolux models hibernating in the shop. If you come into the shop and need a tube, Jim is the ONLY one who can help you, since he keeps them locked away in a secret place where no other shop employee dare venture...

Corey Odermann (Service Manager)

Corey joined us here at Rose bike in March of 2002. He is the full-time mechanic and can usually be found near the back of the shop wrenching bikes. If he can't fix it than its time for a new bike! Currently he rides a Trek EX 9.5 and Felt F55. Happily married to Esther now for five years Corey enjoys the smalltown life that only a place like Orono can provide. If not out riding you can count on Corey to either be eating or driving his VW.

Matt Beal (sales/wrench)

Matt... He's a part-time mechanic/salesperson who proudly rides his new Trek 69er! Where is Matt today? If he's not here than he can be found at Sugarloaf, (where he works part-time in the ski shop) or any other big hill with lots of snow! Matt also is a student at UMO. How does he do it all? Lots of coffee!!

Jeff (sales/wrench)

Jeff is the latest addition to the Rose Bike staff, joining us summer '06. He is a freshman at UMO and works part-time at Rose Bike as a mechanic and salesperson. Jeff brings with him four years of experience from our friends downstate at Berger's Bike shop in York. Currently he rides a custom Salsa mtb.
