SCHAUFF Aero

Business as unusual

The modern design of the Schauff Wall Street jars with the vintage of its long-established creator. The Schauff bicycle factory was founded by Hans and Barbara Schauff for the manufacture of racing bike frames in 1932 in Cologne – within spitting distance of the Six Day Races. When war damage forced them to move premises, Schauff continued to manufacture in Remagen am Rhein, Germany. In 1991 Schauff commenced work on the development of their bow design, and the ‘blow moulding method’ was used to produce perfect carbonfibre reinforced plastic frames. In 1992 the ‘Rote Punkt’ design prize was awarded to the Schauff Wall Street, which later became the coveted benchmark known as the ‘red dot design award’.
The Wall Street is a trekking bike disguised as a mountain bike with, ironically, narrow 700C tyres borrowed from a racing bike. The exquisite detail and the internal cables tell of a passion for precision, but although the stem may take care of the suspension, the saddle does look a little painful. Only around twenty copies of this model were produced.
