George Longstaff passes away
The renowned tandem, tricycle and special needs cycle engineer dies while out cycling, aged 58. Sad news reaches us that the well-known and widely respected cycle engineer and manufacturer George Longstaff collapsed and later died while out on a Longstaff owners' ride yesterday.
His [ http://www.longstaffcycles.co.uk/ ]Longstaff Cycles business has a fine reputation as one of the world's very best manufacturers of beautifully-crafted custom tandems, upright tricycles and tandem tricycles. George was also very active in adapting his machines for use by those with special needs, and was well-known for carrying out professional, well-engineered one-offs alongside his more conventional designs.
He will be sadly missed. Our condolences to his wife Bev, and to all relatives and friends. Posted on 06 October 2003
