Schindelhauer Bikes (Germany) – "The Schindelhauer Family is growing! Our new model Gustav, the recent winner of the Eurobike-Award, is an allrounder in the city. Being a technical marvel, Gustav is conceived for commuters and for everyday riding with extra load. Its sophisticated details are convincing – not only in terms of design", shared Schindelhauer Bikes.

"When developing Gustav, our aim was a fully equipped Urban Bike with an integrated solution for transporting extra load. Due to a new frame geometry, large volume 27,5" tyres and thought out details we stay true to our cutting edge design and could simultaneously achieve a lot of comfort. Other than our so far typical Schindelhauer frames, Gustav has a longer head tube and a short stem. As the saddle is lower than the handlebar, a comfortable position is assured. Parents have the option to mount a seat for their child, travellers can take a bag easily and commuters will enjoy the slip-free platform pedals and the integrated front rack as a highlight", added the company.

"Fixed to the head tube, the front rack does not move while steering. Gustav rides smooth and safe, even when loaded heavily. Be it a pick nick blanket or a parcel, your load will be fixed tightly with the flexible strap system that we developed for this bike. Even cobblestones or rough paths will become new favourite shortcuts thanks to the comfy large volume tyres", continues the company.

"An elegant lighting system which is discreetly integrated into the Curana fenders completes our new family member", concluded Schindelhauer Bikes.

"Gustav marks the launch of a new product family in which more models are to follow. Available for reservatio fitted with either a 2-speed Sram-Automatix hub for automatic shifting (price: 1.250,-€) or with a 8-speed Shimano Nexus internal geared hub (1.450€). Delivery will start in February 2018.
