 +===== Schauff Overview ===== 
 + 
 +Schauff was the first to manufacturer mountain bikes in Germany in 1981 (([[https://second.wiki/wiki/schauff_unternehmen|introduced the first mountain bike in Germany called "Landcruiser" in Europe]])).  Starting with the Landcruiser, of which almost no information can be found (([[http://www.mtb-museum.de/bikes/ispo81.htm|1981]] ad for Landcruiser)) and then quickly followed by the Alpin. 
 + 
 +<blockquote> 
 +Johannes C. Schauff, a member of a noted bike industry family in Germany, died Sept. 23 at 83. The Schauff name was perhaps best known in the U.S. during the 1970s bike boom, when the company exported thousands of its 10-speed bikes to the U.S. Johannes Schauff also was heavily involved in the growth of BMX in Europe and brought BMX brands including Kuwahara and Race Inc. to Europe.
