Schauff

Schauff MTB 1991

Found this old junk on a local site, and I wonder if it is worth the time to fix it up. For sale at 20€, so not much of an outlay at least.

Looking a bit sad

Could it look like this again?

Nice and interesting bike but nothing real special has pretty standard early 90's MTB geometry bit compact slightly smaller frame with extended stem and seat pretty big frame for this style. Looks to be about 20 seat and 22 top with long stock stem which is pretty big for this style frame. and limited 5'11-6"2" rider wise. But a very nice bike well worth 20 euros I would put the value as presented if in good basic working at 150 so euros.

I think this refers to the pretty standard compact hard frame 90's Hard Frame MTB geometry the builder just got there with slightly different frame design. I get what they want to accomplish with this design which is to minimize rear chain stay chain bash.

One thing I just noticed is that it looks like it has hydraulic rim brakes, which would point to something high-end, but this bike also appears to have a replacement 36H bolt-on wheelset from a department store bike, so all bets are off!

Elevated chain stay bikes are cool, but remember to check for frame cracks.

That's a metal dork disc on the rear not a brake would be nice f they had better drive side pics. I'm pretty sure these had mid level 36 hole wheels and canti brakes stock the wheels may or may not be original con't really tell enough from the pic.

I meant on the gray Schauff- there's a full-length line going to the rear brake, then there's no straddle cable- just a U shaped one, like these on these old Maguras

Oh wow maybe you're right. The front caliper is just hanging off to the side.

Now you know the model name: High Voltage. And those are definitely hydraulic brakes.

I couldn't find any with this chain stay configuration. The closest one was an asymmetric e-stay (with cooler paint).
