Parallel Handbuilt

It's not every day that I introduce a brand so formally. You know, make a post showing all y'all some beautiful, thought out product from some corner of the bike industry. But then again, not everything needs an introduction, or maybe just doesn't warrant it. But I reckon Ingrid earns a proper intro, more than any other.

Ingrid is a small company located in Italy making big waves. You have probably already seen them bolted up on all sorts of "unicorn builds", and rightfully so. This CNC work, aesthetic, and quality just matches these fancy builds. But what they won't tell you is that you can use them in any build... True story.

Pictured is Ingrid's CRS-POP crankset and chainrings. This beauty is ready for road, gravel, and XC... Even trail if yer nasty. Next to this crank Ingrid machines lighter and heavier duty cranks, cassettes, and even *DELETED* for their newest *DELETED*, available *DELETED*. I can't wait! The cranks are three piece and the chainring attaches to the spindle using a custom made tool and a cassette locking tool. You can swap the spindle out for different BBs and bikes.

Being a smaller company, production is on the slower side of things, but that's just fine. Good things take time. Nonetheless, these cranks will be replacing standard options in builds at Parallel HQ wherever it makes sense. Keen to take one home yourself? Get in touch to order one.
