Another bike intended to keep you rolling for longer, this Schindelhauer Lotte also comes with Shimano Alfine hub gearing and a belt drive chain.

Ask the Expert: Will My Commute take Longer by Bike?

No carbon fork here, but the Schindelahauer makes up for a lot in style and sportiness – it’s certainly a good choice of city bike for those of you that was classic styling without anything screaming ‘vintage’. Rim instead of disc may be a deal braker (ho ho!) for some, but in every other sense this is the ultimate urban bicycle.
