Title: 1979 Schauff Crossmaster
Post by: Schneeky1 on January 29, 2013, 05:48 PM

Spotted this on Ebay for 50 bones a while back.

The drum brake wheels got the better of my curiosity so i bought it.

I took the frame/forks/bars and wheels down to Dan (SBD) to have a chat with him about powder coat and ended up with this...

Sourced a couple of bits and pieces:

Alps stem - Bronx Motocross tires - Cougar integrated seat/post - SR 'Grand Silver two piece cranks - SR Pedals - ACS Chain - Seatclamp -Headset -Brake Cables

Then set about building it up.

Mostly at the Pod and Shakey for the 'Hot Rod Drags'.

I crew on this. I'm on the right...

Serious motor  :coolsmiley:

I used to go to shakey about 5 times a year in the 90's, only been to the pod once though.

Last time i was at shakey was about 8 years ago now i think

I was always at Smax's having a beer and chat until he went to Canada, good times  :daumenhoch:
