If you're a bike mechanic or run a shop, you already know the pain — distributors mark up 40-60% on common components, lead times are brutal, and finding specific parts means calling 10 different suppliers.

I built CrankMarket because I got tired of it.

Here's what I've learned sourcing parts for years:

The markup game is broken. A Shimano Deore derailleur costs $25 wholesale and retails for $55+. But there are shops sitting on overstock willing to move units at $30-35. The problem? No one connects these sellers with the mechanics who need them.

Used pulls are gold. Customers upgrade and leave perfectly good parts behind. Most shops toss them or let them collect dust. Those parts have value — someone's looking for exactly what you've got.

Bulk buying power matters. Independent mechanics can't compete with the buying power of chain stores. But a network of 50 shops? That's leverage.

CrankMarket is a marketplace where mechanics and shop owners source parts from each other — new, used, overstock, bulk. Cut out the middleman, keep more margin.

If you wrench for a living, this is your network.
