23 February 2026 - London, UK - Quirk Cycles has opened orders for a strictly limited Founders’ Batch of its new road frame, marking the first chapter of the brand’s next phase.
Limited to 25 frames worldwide, the Founders’ Batch introduces the Mamtor - a modern road bike developed with the same restraint, care, and depth that have defined Quirk for over a decade. This first release signals a shift from bespoke builds to small-batch production, while retaining complete design and manufacturing oversight in London.
The Mamtor is the bike you reach for first - not because of where you’re going, but because the ride matters more than the destination. Smooth tarmac, broken lanes, the last stretch home at speed - it holds the line so you don’t have to.
“Our bikes are for people who value how something is made as much as how it’s used.” - Rob Quirk, designer and founder of Quirk Cycles.
Every Founders’ Batch Mamtor frame is built in London, with responsibility for design, fabrication, and finishing kept deliberately close. This proximity allows Quirk to maintain control, clarity, and accountability at every stage of the process.
The company introduces modern design and scalable processes - without losing identity, oversight, or control. Nothing is added for effect. Every decision serves the ride.
- A unique polished stainless steel Founders’ Batch head badge

- An invitation to a private London workshop ride and evening
Orders for the Founders’ Batch are open now via this link and will close on 31 March. The Frameset pricing is from £4,999, Framekit is £5,699. Once closed, this specification will not be produced again.
