Friedrich sets new standards as a classic urban bicycle: maintenance-free carbon toothed belt, Shimano Alfine hub gear, smoothed weld seams using the ‘flat-welding’ process, lightweight mudguards, high-quality dynamo lighting system and a luggage rack specially manufactured for Schindelhauer with integrated lighting from Supernova.
The minimalist design harmonises perfectly with all components and creates a symbiosis of sporty elegance and touring-friendly features. This is complemented by a relaxed seating position and comfortable frame geometry. Agile and efficient in the city, Friedrich is also the ideal companion for weekend excursions. Thanks to high-quality components and the best workmanship, this bicycle is built to last.
The Schindelhauer Friedrich is a stylish, premium urban bike designed for riders seeking a comfortable bicycle for city commuting, everyday mobility, and relaxed weekend rides. It combines Schindelhauer's signature minimalist design language with a thoughtfully equipped setup and an exceptionally low-maintenance drivetrain concept.
Thanks to its classic frame silhouette, relaxed riding position, and comfort-oriented geometry, Friedrich feels equally at home on daily commutes and longer weekend adventures. The frame is made from high-quality AL6061 aluminum, offering an ideal balance of low weight, stiffness, and durability. Smoothed welds, internal cable routing through the frame and fork, and the almost invisible Schindelhauer Belt Port create a particularly clean and elegant appearance.
Friedrich comes equipped with everything a premium everyday bicycle needs. Lightweight Curana fenders integrate seamlessly into the overall design while providing reliable protection in wet conditions. The high-quality Supernova dynamo lighting system with front headlight and integrated rear light ensures excellent visibility and safety in traffic.
The specially customized Tubus Fly rear rack is slim, lightweight, and highly durable. It is rated to carry up to 18 kg of luggage and is compatible with Ortlieb panniers, making it ideal for commuting, grocery runs, or light touring equipment. Hydraulic Shimano disc brakes provide reliable stopping power in all weather conditions.
Depending on the selected configuration, Friedrich is available with either a Shimano Alfine 8-speed or Shimano Alfine 11-speed internal gear hub. The Alfine 8-speed version offers a reliable, robust, and easy-to-use shifting system that is perfectly suited for daily urban riding, commuting, and relatively flat to moderately hilly terrain.
The Alfine 11-speed version provides a wider gear range and is particularly suitable for riders who regularly cover longer distances, tackle steeper climbs, or ride on more varied terrain. With its expanded gearing range, it represents the more versatile and performance-oriented option within the Friedrich lineup. Both versions pair perfectly with the nearly silent Gates belt drive and further enhance the bike's premium, low-maintenance character.
Instead of a conventional bicycle chain, Friedrich features the Gates Carbon Drive CDX CenterTrack belt system. The belt runs quietly, stays clean in daily use, and requires no regular lubrication or degreasing. For everyday urban cycling, the belt drive offers significant advantages: no oily chain stains, reduced maintenance, and outstanding long-term durability.
Friedrich's premium character is reflected in every contact point. The Brooks B17 leather saddle, ergonomic Schindelhauer leather grips, and elegantly shaped Noirette handlebar provide exceptional comfort while reinforcing the bike's timeless aesthetic. The 35 mm Continental Grand Prix Urban Classic tires deliver an excellent balance of rolling efficiency, riding comfort, and everyday practicality.
