What Is Jank?
Some believe Jank to be an adjective associated with poor quality, however we support a different interpretation. When referring to trails, Jank often means beautifully awkward or highly technical. Our products reflect this "Jankiness" in their functionality.
Why Jank?
Jank designs and manufactures all components in house, we mean this literally. Our goal is to create a sustainable component company with manufacturing in Bellingham Washington.
Jank Components was born when a friend of Eric's asked for a custom part his inbox exploded with requests. We plan to continue making parts for our friends near and far.

The man who started this dream, Eric grew up in the bustling town of Anacortes just down the block. He is the fastest one in our little boy band and Eric encapsulates the Jank vibe. He studied composites engineering and finished his degree this year.

Forrest
Ideas man and professional slick talker, Forrest migrated to the PNW in search of the Jank. He lured Dario and Eric into the house on Electric Ave, and cracks the whip when his older compatriots get distracted. Forrest is an adaptable creature.
