ALDI bike sale (starting on 05/10/2011 Wednesday)
Postby peter » Fri Sep 30, 2011 12:41 am
The $15 track pump is looking good as a spare for the office.
$30 120 lumens LED with lithium battery and charger looks attractive.
Also the $40 bike tool set.
Cycling briefs with padding, haven't seen those before.
The "special buys" starts on 05/10/2011 (next Wednesday), but from experience they will probably be on the shelves from late afternoon Tuesday.

Almost got hung up by the helmet myself on Tuesday night. My Ay-Ups got snagged in a low tree branch and just about ripped me off the bike by the helmet. They sit almost flush against the helmet, not up in the air like a periscope like those Aldi lights.

I bought a couple a year or so ago, they've held up fine IMO & no complaints of see-throughness as of yet (but I wear dark daks anyway).peter wrote:Cycling briefs with padding, haven't seen those before.

+1 to bike tool set. I know Park Tools are the mecca but for a learner they are a good intro.

Please report backelfrog wrote:I'm going to give the flat bar road bike a try from that catalogue, I have a good xt and xtr based hard tail MTB but I've been after something more road friendly and 700c based for ages to burn into town on, this bike is cheaper than a budget set of wheels and slicks so I'm going to go with it. Might be making a small mistake or might not, I will find out next Thursday

I will if the bike is real lol at the moment I'm starting to wonder :s maybe it was a printing error and is going to be sold at a later date, it's not a bike I've seen at ALDI in the last 2 years since we've had a store so it cant be a past bike, really weird it's not on the online catalogueComedian wrote:Please report backelfrog wrote:I'm going to give the flat bar road bike a try from that catalogue, I have a good xt and xtr based hard tail MTB but I've been after something more road friendly and 700c based for ages to burn into town on, this bike is cheaper than a budget set of wheels and slicks so I'm going to go with it.

I dunno, even one of those fridges might be a bit much on the bike rack.zozza wrote:

Gonna check out the jackets and the lad will get one of those lights as an upgrade on his QH unit.

I figured it would be sold as another brand also like everything is these days and turns out it's this bike
http://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-Volare-Hy ... B0030U8T14
Everyone says the seat is rubbish but apart from that it seems good enough to get me around town for a while, I'm guessing it's weigh considerably more than my 10.5kg hard tail MTB but surely will beat riding around on knobbys so if it's in the store I'll grab one

Thanks to Aldifan for confirming by trial what some of us thought these bikes would be like long-term.

I still have their jackets. Pretty durable and you can't be missed in fluoro! Made me sweat like a pig so I was wet inside and outside when it was raining. Have gone to better and more expensive things nowMulger bill wrote:Gonna check out the jackets and the lad will get one of those lights as an upgrade on his QH unit.

I have the light on my bike. They are good from the on coming view but the depth of the beam isn't that great but ok for riding at 20/25kmh with caution.Mulger bill wrote:If their knicks fall from the same tree as their previous attempts, avoid. They have this translucent quality that would be magnificent in chiffon.
