No.22 Bicycles, the makers of high-end titanium bikes, has initiated legal action against an alleged imitator and is warning the public about fraudulent products being sold under its branding.

Founded in 2012, No.22 Bicycles has built a strong reputation for crafting high-performance titanium bicycles with a focus on innovative features and unique finishes. In 2019, the New York-based company expanded into carbon components with the launch of No. 6 Composites, a sub-brand dedicated to manufacturing carbon forks tailored specifically to the needs of custom frame builders. No.6 forks are used not only by No.22 but also by bike builders such as Baum, Equilibrium, Firefly and English Cycles.

Anne-Marije Rook
North American Editor

Cycling Weekly's North American Editor, Anne-Marije Rook is old school. She holds a degree in journalism and started out as a newspaper reporter — in print! She can even be seen bringing a pen and notepad to the press conference.

Originally from The Netherlands, she grew up a bike commuter and didn't find bike racing until her early twenties when living in Seattle, Washington. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one. As she competed at the elite level, her journalism career followed, and soon she became a full-time cycling journalist. She's now been a cycling journalist for 11 years.
