American titanium bike manufacturer Lynskey Performance has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after nearly 20 years in business. The company cited rising operating costs, cash-flow problems, delayed order fulfillment, and costly ecommerce chargebacks as major factors. Despite debts reportedly between $1–10 million, there is a chance for Lynskey to continue operating while restructuring. Currently their website is still fully functional with most of their frames on the website heavily discounted, almost 50% off.

Cinelli: Bikepacking into the Afgham Pamir
Video by: Cinelli
“In the summer of 2025, Alexander Niklass, Theo Blindow, Ruben Meersman, and Olf headed to Afghanistan and traversed the Big Pamir, the most remote corner of the Afghan Wakhan Corridor. The expedition pushed through grueling heat, countless cases of food poisoning, and freezing river crossings. The goal was to reach the Kyrgyz nomads, who have lived there for generations, and learn about their traditional way of life in valleys at over 4000 metres above sea level.”
