Hi guys,
I have recently bought an old schauff bike, I came on here to try and find out some more about it and see if anybody has any advice on building a fixie from an old racer bike.
The wheel size was an issue at first but I have gone for 700c wheels and have just ordered a deep drop brake yet to find out if it will work.
I've shaved all the cable guide hooks off and will only be running a front brake, could be a bad idea but will see how it goes.
I have just received it back from powder coating into black copper for the frame which looks sweet in the sun and black forks.
Loving the old styling of the bike compared to the new wheels.
Now to figure out how to put some pics of the build up ??
Any help is appreciated
Chris
