Changes Previous Year (2016) / Current Model (2017)
On this model, the welding on the dropouts are not yet smoothed down. On the current models the welding seams are invisible and flat.
From 2017 onwards Siegfried, Siegfried Road, Ludwig and Lotte are equipped with anodized rims and stainless steel brake levers, which are protected against corrosion. This 2016 model has silver polished rims and brake levers.
If there is a need for attaching a kickstand, we suggest choosing a current model instead, because Ludwig, Lotte and ThinBike come equipped with a kickstand plate on the bottom bracket since 2017. Attaching a kickstand on the rear stay is possible on this model.

Center Track - belt drive systemCenter Track - belt drive system
Smoothly and quietly riding down the street- only listening to the sweet sound of the noise on the road. Alone the advantages of the belt drive system can make this experience come true. By applying the revolutionary Carbon Drive Technology made and developed by Gates™, carbon fibres are embedded in a polyurethane material, thus enabling the belt drive to outplay the chain. The belt’s superior technological advantages - low noise and zero maintenance - are truly irresistible. Extensive testing of the belt drive has shown that due to the applied high-strength carbon fibre, there is not even the slightest evidence of stretching, which forces you to replace drive components and is commonly observed when using standard chains. Consequently, the belt drive lasts much longer than standard chains and has an expected running performance of approximately 20,000 km (13,670 Miles). All rear-pulleys are exclusively manufactured from hardened steel to guarantee an extensive durability. The patented Mud Ports™ shed even the worst types of debris and keep the state of the art belt drive system in ideal function. Additional testing has revealed that the belt drive is as efficient as a chain. Particularly in the longer term it gives proof of its superior technology advantages to shed all types of debris and wear and to require low maintenance, whereas chains are reduced in their level of efficiency. It is the only drive system that is completely lubricant and maintenance-free. On top of this you can enjoy the freedom of riding your bike without any chain guard or ever having to roll up your trousers again. For putting the belt under tension, the Crocodile-Clamping-System has been developed and patented by Schindelhauer. Apart from ideal functionality, we focus just as much on balanced looks. That’s why all frames are equipped with the also patented Schindelhauer Belt-Port-Technology. This feature does not affect the stiffness of the rear triangle in any way and integrates all technical components smoothly into the design of the bike. Watch out!

Schindelhauer - slider-belt-tensioning-systemSchindelhauer - slider-belt-tensioning-system
Two guided slides serve as the attachment for the rear-wheel. By use of the forward tilted opening axis mounts, the belt is automatically brought into its initial preset tension while mounting the wheels. A finely brushed stainless steel plate covers all clamping screws which fix the slides into place. Despite the concentration of technology in such confined spaces, we have achieved a clean look. Two adjusting screws serve for the adjustment of the belt tension and the alignment of the rear-wheel.

Schindelhauer - belt portSchindelhauer - belt port
We like the idea of the drive belt blending in with the back frame tri-angle. Unfortunately, the laws of physics prevent that option. Due to Schindelhauer’s patent pending SBP-System the opening is well hidden and changing your drive belt is an easy task. A fixed connection between seat and chain stay is achieved by applying Schindelhauer’s positively spool piece in wave form, which reflects the design of the drive belt. It can easily be removed and reinstalled. By applying a continuous screw connecting all components, the original stiff state is restored and it looks as if nothing has ever been changed. No more annoying combinations of transmissions or screw connections affecting your eyesight- only the pure aesthetics of the invisible remain. If it involves a Schindelhauer Bike, this application goes visibly unnoticed. We are very proud of that.

Schindelhauer - aluminium frameSchindelhauer - aluminium frame
When fitting a drive belt on a bike, you need an ultra-strong frame and stiff rear triangle. Parts and components made from aluminium are both strong and lightweight, making it the ideal material to use when designing stiff bikes. For this reason, at Schindelhauer Bikes we manufacture all our frames with high-quality 6061 aluminium. For maximum stiffness, each frame is T6 heat treated and for the perfect balance between lightweight design and durability, we use triple-butted aero tubing. What’s more, after we weld the tubes using the TIG welding process, we polish every single joint weld. Known as ‘smooth-welding’, polishing joint welds not only looks clean and neat, but also alleviates stress concentration and improves the fatigue strength of the frame, making cycling even more of a joy. As well as offering top performance and comfort, Schindelhauer loves beautiful, minimal designs, so you’ll always find the headset and seat clamp integrated into the frame design. The forged dropout connects the crocodile-belt-tensioning-system and our in-house developed SBP (Schindelhauer Belt Port). The bike frame is now ready to be fitted with the Gates Drive Belt. We guarantee every frame for five years.

Schindelhauer - ergo gripsSchindelhauer - ergo grips
The ergonomic shaped handles provide a direct link to your wheel and make every single ride a pure delight. The big locating surfaces provide a maximum feeling of comfort due to a well balanced pressure distribution. Both handles are securely clamped and kept twist-proof at the handlebar with clamping rings. The brown shining core leather lies comfortable in the hand and reflects the saddle color. In that way design and functionality are perfectly united again.

Tektro - breake systemTektro - breake system
The ultra-light dual-pivot road bike brakes with side-pull go perfectly with the classic design of our bikes. Forged aluminum is used to manufacture the brake arms. Optimal delay in dry and wet conditions is achieved by applying angle adjusted brake pads. The easy to handle quick release makes disassembling your set of wheels a piece of cake.

Shimano Alfine - hollowtech cranksetShimano Alfine - hollowtech crankset
The Shimano Alfine crankset is excellently suited for applying the drive belt system. For this purpose both the hollow axis and external inner bearings make their contribution towards achieving the essential stiffness that the belt demands. A fixed stop collar enforces a precise belt line, thus ensuring a high durability of the belt. But looks were not neglected here, as the crank sticks out as a visual highlight and further distinguishes the style of the bike.

Tange - Integrated headsetTange - Integrated headset
The main thrust of all Schindelhauer Bikes is reduction by means of system integration. Even the headset won’t be spared. The cartridge chamber made by Tange is fully integrated and shines due to the waist shaped head tube. The entire bike seems to be flawless due to the smooth transition of bicycle fork and stem. Besides, the bearings are ideally protected against dust and debris.

Which frame size is right?
The frame sizes listed are only a guide. Finding the right sized frame for you depends on things like your height, personal preferences and riding style. Your inside leg measurement is also important for determining your standover height, i.e. the clearance between your crotch and the top tube of the bike when standing to the front of the saddle.
