“Provenance” is a new video from Michael Drummond that captures framebuilder Rob Quirk of Quirk Cycles in his element. Set in Rob’s London workspace, it paints a vivid portrait of Quirk Cycles as the one-man brand transitions from one-off custom builds to production runs. Watch it here…

Michael Drummond’s latest project, Provenance, is a beautifully shot eight-minute video profile of Rob Quirk, who builds bikes in Hackney, London, under the name Quirk Cycles. Shot entirely in Rob’s cozy workshop, it offers a rare peek at the thinking, craft, and guiding principles that underpin every Quirk frame, as well as the vision shaping the small brand’s future. Visually rich, it expertly documents Rob’s work while illuminating its ethos.

The release of Provenance comes at a pivotal moment for Quirk, which is entering a new chapter built on years of framebuilding experience. Moving past one-off custom builds, Rob is heading toward a refined range of production bicycles focused on clarity, consistency, and lasting value. To that end, he just opened his first “Founder’s Batch” of 25 Mamtor road frames yesterday. You can watch the video above to learn more about Rob and his process, then head over to QuirkCycles.com for more.
