Giessauf

General Post your ride
1

This is a Giessauf i got earlier this year.

The frameset was handbuilt by the father of the owner of payneham cycles, which is v faintly painted on the top bar.

It came with a 50 tooth sugino 75 njs chainring but currently has a 48 tooth suntour superbe njs.

Wheels are Velocity aeroheads, unsure what the hubs are.

Saddle is Fizik.

All i’ve done to it is put in a new black seat post because the frame is too small for me and the previous one had been cut short.

Big question I have is what brand the cranks are. I posted a pic of them in help previously but got no response, does anyone have a clue what they are?

regards,

bill

Great looking bike!
are they the original colours?

No idea what those cranks are either.

+1 it look’s real nice and neat, nice paint job on the frame

4

International Cycle’s ‘team’ colours were orange like that. It would have had black or white internationals stickers on the top tube, and it’s faded in the sun (then stickers have been removed). The paint isn’t supposed to be like that! :roll:

I owned the same cranks once. Got them off ebay. The guy I brought them off didn’t know what brand they are and neither did the guy I sold them to two years later.
Wow what a useless post

I reckon my mate Adam has the same cranks on his Hoffy…

… and he has no idea what they are either. :expressionless: Sorry.

Also, there’s a Giessauf roadie on eBay at the monent too, it’s a cheap starting price too.

But that looks damn nice Bill.

I’d always wanted to know what the relationship between Pete at International Cycles and Giessauf bikes was… Great frame BPM!

Peter = Peter Geissauf! His dad made the frames.

We had one of the last custom frames done through the shop back in about 1996 or 1997 I reckon it was…

Ha, yeah i knew him as Pete Giessauf, but didnt realise the frames were from adelaide though! Yeah the shop is amazing with the campag 50th anni display case and a pinarello from the 1970s. Anyhoo, apologies for the hijack! back on the awesome frame!

I just realised I have some Hanabishi chair rings that have a similar logo as those found on the crank.
Could the crank be a Hanabishi?

I didnt come up with much in a search.

18

are they a bmx company? i agree the logos are pretty similar

+1, great store and he’s very very helpful even if you arent buying anything (just yet). The kind of service you should be getting at all stores, definitely makes me happy to go back and spend the little extra.

Oh yeh and awesome looking ride.
Where’s the location?
