Subject: [CR]Strellson Swiss Cross vintage bike

I have a Strellson Swiss Cross vintage bike. Can you tell me anything about it, or the best place to find some info out about it. I recently won it in a Strellson competition (who now make clothes). Unfortunately nobody knows anything about it

I haven't been able to find much out, apart from some guy from the US telling me that he reckons it could be from 1946-1990 in date. It could be even older!

It still has the original tools (fits into the leather pouch under the seat), front brake hits the tyre not rim, and the light is dynamo powered. Original working bell and pump attached too. It has the number 43048 stamped below the seat post. Bake brake looks like a drum brake??? It also has an integrated lock on the rear wheel (with key).

I would be grateful if you could help me.

Many thanks, Stuart
