Crosshead Limited is ceasing trading. Assembly & Sales started in 2018, although we had to find new premises from 2021 and negotiated a manufacturing agreement in Taiwan but delay hampered planning. We apologise to anyone affected in particular shareholders and customers.

Crosshead had a bike stolen over the Bank holiday, a senseless smash & grab from J.Cosmo Deal, where it was on public display, it was kindly lent by its owner who is planning a local and national ride; please help me find it; frame number: CH18S0003 @Deal_Town #dealtown

Denise Mueller-Korenek has set a new cycling land speed record of more than 180 miles an hour, smashing the previous record that had stood for almost a quarter of a century - 10 per cent faster than previous record holder Fred Rompleberg. road.cc/content/news/248509-… #thecycleshow
