INTRODUCING QUIRK CYCLES M2L COLLECTOR’S EDITION FRAMESET

23 February 2026, London -- Developed with Rapha founder Simon Mottram, this numbered collector’s edition is designed to be the perfect bike for covering the annual Manchester to London ride. Production is strictly limited to five individually commissioned framesets and each bike built supports Ambitious about Autism.

Built from the race-proven Quirk Durmitor platform, the M2L frame uses custom geometry refined for sustained speed and efficiency over long distances. Each frame is handmade in Quirk’s London workshop using Columbus Hyperion titanium tubing for low weight and elevated ride quality. A custom 3D-printed titanium seat post, developed exclusively for this edition, is tuned to increase compliance and reduce fatigue over long rides. A stable wheelbase preserves fast, confident handling, while Quirk’s proprietary 3D-printed titanium dropouts, head tube and seat cluster complete the chassis.

An Enve In-Route carbon fork, bar and aero stem are hand-painted in white with signature Manchester to London detailing. Brushed titanium paired with clean white accents gives the bike a timeless, purposeful aesthetic worthy of a collector’s piece.

Each bike includes custom white M2L Tailfin top tube and half-frame bags designed specifically for the frame. Riders can travel light with the top tube bag alone or add the half-frame bag for extended storage. Both mount cleanly using recessed bolts and can be removed without disrupting the bike’s lines.

Simon Mottram comments:

“Having ridden M2L ten times, I know what I’m looking for in a bike that will carry me 350km in a day. Comfort was the priority, but without sacrificing ride quality or adding weight. Titanium paired with Enve carbon was the obvious solution — light, smooth and efficient. With custom Tailfin bags and a classic finish, this is the perfect bike for riding M2L and it should last me a lifetime.”

Only five Quirk M2L Collector’s Edition framesets will be produced and individually numbered. Lead time is 13 weeks. The price for the frameset and custom luggage is £9,250, with £875 from each acquisition donated to Ambitious about Autism. Allocation is expected to complete quickly.
