Technically innovative, versatile, and available in limited quantities: The Schindelhauer Ludwig Urbanbike in pine green strikes the perfect balance between versatility and performance, and is equipped for touring and city riding thanks to the Shimano Alfine 11-speed hub gear. Complementing this is the low-maintenance Gates timing belt, which ensures a quiet, friction-free, and dynamic drivetrain.
With Brooks components and a minimalist design, the elegant, classic style is perfect. The patented Schindelhauer Belt-Port system allows for a virtually invisible frame opening at the dropout—making belt replacement quick and easy.
