I bought a wind vest from Aldi about 4 years ago and it's been great! I use it very regularly during winter. Very handy too with the zip rear pocket where I can put keys/money/gloves etc, not many other vests have these.cp123 wrote: i also bought a crane black vest and the zip busted fairly quickly. i just bought a new $5 zip, spent hours unpicking and put a new one in. Now it works right.
2/2 is enough to put me off. i'd rather buy name brands now.

+1 sorta, zip on one died early this winter past but the other is still going strong after a few years.Ross wrote:I bought a wind vest from Aldi about 4 years ago and it's been great!

Picked up next week's catalogue to find that they're selling torque wrenches for $20. Gonna pick that up.

Yep, it was bedlam. Fist fights will break out when stocks are low I reckon.QuangVuong wrote:There was a mad rush for the black bike this morning.
Got the toolkit -- really incredible value. I know half the items will likely shatter into a thousand pieces if you just look at them menacingly, but if used casually and gently, they could last a lifetime. The tyre pressure gauge was a bit of surprise inclusion -- especially as it only goes up to 50psi.
They also had gloves ($8) and okay looking helmets ($30) at my local.

Were you at the Guildford store? What were the stocks like? THere were 5 bikes at the Villawood store, all gone in the first minute. Maybe I shouldve picked one up, and offered it to someone who wanted it for extra $10.

I somewhat cringed at all the people buying bikes, helmets, & everything.... They will probably ride the bike once and put it away because it won't change gears

Yes, Guildford. Stocks were quite high there actually; maybe 15, didn't really look... The mad rush here was for all the other cycling stuff.
And you could do a lot better than an extra $10 if you follow Jennay's example.

Same with Bendigo, Everyone just picking out every scrapbooking design there was.....TonyMax wrote:I got the flouro jacket and a pump, there was just as many people poring over the scrapbooking stuff as there was picking at the bike stuff, but I'm in Canberra and people are weird here.

Jennay is in a league of her own. We won't ever reach her level of bike selling skills. What I meant was just take one up, and push it around in the trolley. Find someone who wanted it and charge them a holding fee.TTar wrote:QuangVuong wrote:

They have handy loops for taking then off which is how I stuffed up the fingers of my old gloves.
The bike tool kit was good value but no great quality tools most of which I have already individually and better quality. Still a good starter kit.
Couldn't find any of the spanners and screwdrivers though which all seem to have gone ALREADY.
Don't you just hate the bait type ads with no stock that suck you in to going in and buying something else you didn't need!
