It’s been hard not to hear about the recent development that happened at Quirk Cycles recently. After years of fully bespoke builds, the brand has relaunched with a focused range of just three off-the-peg models. This is the Durmitor, their race/competition geometry bike, and by the way, one of my favorites on this show.
Slightly more aggressive and with quicker handling than their other models, the Durmitor still offers generous 35mm tire clearance and is designed to feel fast and responsive while remaining practical for real-world riding.
The frame is built from Columbus’s lightest steel tubeset, the Spirit, and features Quirk’s signature 3D-printed stainless steel parts. This particular bike is finished in this perfect “Hyperium Azzuro” colorway, a shimmering silver baby blue that shifts depending on the light. A node to some classic track bikes like the Cannondale Track or Cinelli Laser.

This is the Pashley Roadfinder SL, a build that takes the brand's road model and tightens everything up for a more purist experience. Obviously that includes the geometry and clearances designed for 32c tires (or 28c with mudguards), making it handle like a proper, uncompromising road bike at just 7.5 kilos.
Made almost fully out of Reynolds 853 SL, a custom tubeset developed specifically with Reynolds to shed weight while keeping the renowned 853 ride quality. It also comes with a polished stainless steel Reynolds 931 seat tube and matching seatpost, combined to create the illusion of a one-piece seat section. Being a bike of its time, the Roadfinder SL also uses 3D-printed, then smoothed-off lugs across the bikes and for the dropouts, while the finishing kit leaves nothing on the table, with a stealthy Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and fully internal cable routing courtesy of the new Cane Creek headset.

Campagnolo Bora WTO 45 wrapped in Hutchinson Black Bird
There are few names in London cycling with the same heritage as Condor. Operating since 1948, their frames are now handmade in Italy, and this model is a custom, made-to-order build crafted from Columbus XCR, the stainless we all know and love.
Priced at just under £4,000 for the frameset, headset, and bike fit, each bike features bespoke geometry and custom paint. A true personalized project built to the rider's exact requirements, presented by Ben that day.
The spec on this particular build matches the premium frame, with a Campagnolo Super Record groupset and a Chris King headset. And the finishing kit includes a Deda Zero 100 cockpit, a 3D-printed Selle Italia saddle, and Campagnolo Bora WTO 45 wheels wrapped in Hutchinson Blackbird tires.
