Comfortable and functional - Frieda is the perfect bike for urban and rural jaunts, uncompromisingly combining sophisticated design with comfort. Mudguards, integrated lighting and a slim pannier rack are fitted as standard.

New standards in design and functionality

Frieda sets new standards as a classic-urban everyday bike: The reduced design language typical of Schindelhauer harmonises perfectly with all components and creates a symbiosis of sporty elegance with tour-friendly equipment. A relaxed riding position and comfortable frame geometry contribute to this. Agile and efficient in the city, Frieda is also the ideal companion for weekend excursions. Thanks to high-quality components and the best workmanship, Frieda is built to last.

Maintenance-free drive

Instead of a conventional chain, the maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive CDX CenterTrack belt drive ensures a light, silent and fast ride. For longer tours with climbs, brisk tailwind passages or dynamic traffic light starts, the Shimano Alfine 8- or 11-speed hub is a perfect match.

• Shimano Alfine 8-/11-gear hub

  With a spread of 307% for the 8-speed hub or 409% for the 11-speed hub, it offers enough leeway for any terrain. The pawl-free freewheel is super-quiet and an ideal complement to the silent belt drive.

• High-quality Alfine components

  The hollow axle and external bearings work together to achieve the essential stiffness that the belt demands, while a fixed clamp collar gives a precise belt line to ensure a highly durable belt – at the same time, as a visual highlight, it decisively shapes the character of the bike.

• Gates Carbon Drive

  Since day one, Schindelhauer has been using the superior belt drive from Gates, which consists of embedded carbon fibres. All bikes are specially designed for the belt drive in order to take advantage of all the benefits.

• Zero maintenance

  Oiling, greasing and rusting are a thing of the past.

• Highly efficient

  With a higher wattage, the efficiency is higher compared to the chain.

• Long life span

  The Gates Carbon Drive lasts about 3-4 times longer than a chain.

• Stay clean

  Due to the lack of oil, it keeps your trousers away from dirt.

• Super quiet

  No chain - No more chain running noises.

• Lightweight

  The Gates Carbon Drive weighs 20% less than a classic chain.

Seamlessly integrated technologies.

Frieda is designed from the ground up for the Gates Carbon Drive to make the most of all the advantages of the drive system. Innovative technologies such as the Schindelhauer belt port and the slider-belt-tensioning-system are seamlessly integrated to consistently maintain the purist design.

• Aluminium frame

  Stable, robust and yet a true lightweight - the frame is made of high-quality 6061 aluminium. The smoothed weld seams using the "flat-welding" process are a visual highlight.

• Patented Belt Port

  The patented Belt Port, an almost invisible opening at the dropout, makes it very easy to change the belt drive.

• Internal cable routing in frame and fork

  For a particularly sleek and reduced design, the latest frame generation and self-developed aluminium fork features full internal cable routing.

Fully equipped as standard

High-quality leather equipment and silver-polished components define the classic Frieda character traits. Lightweight mudguards, high-quality dynamo lights and a pannier rack specially made for Schindelhauer complete the package of features.

• Schindelhauer - handlebar Noirette

  Shapely and versatile: The Schindelhauer Noirette handlebars combine a classic handlebar shape with contemporary design. Used as an interpretation of the "Stuttgarter" handlebar when mounted upright.

• Curana mudguards

  Mudguards are a must for this bike and the understated CLite guards by Curana are the best match on the market. Due to the innovative aluminium sandwich design, these mudguards are both slim and stiff at the same time.

• Supernova dynamo front light

  The Supernova E3 Pure light features CREE LED technology and an optimised reflector provide excellent illumination. The stand light function makes for increased security and ensures you’ll be seen on your nightly rambles around town.

• Tubus pannier rack with integrated rear light

  In collaboration with Tubus, we’ve adapted the Fly rear rack so it fits this bike like a glove. We integrated the Supernova E3 tail light into the design and gave the cable duct an elegant finish. Made from stainless steel, the rack is both lightweight and robust enough to hold up to 18 kg. The Fly is also 100% compatible with Ortlieb products.
