The bikes are generally awful. I have a 24in rim, kids sized frame from one of the "brands" that aldi dumps on the market, saved from being dumped in my blocks garbage, and it weighs 16kgs with no accessories. Enough so that the appropriate sized owner would struggle to lift it up a flight of stairs.

+1 and add leg warmers to that listbirdbrain wrote:A friend bought some arm warmers from Aldi and they are cheap, nasty and ill fitting. Probably match the knicks.
Gloves are ok though

Also got the socks last year, they are very much only summer weight but completely acceptable.
Tried their bib knicks also last year but "tested" them when I got them home and they where completely crap so returned them. Smaller size may have fitted a little better but there wasn't any left.

it broke last week when i tried pumping it up!
gonna try take it back... major failure.
i only tried pumping it up to 100psi about 2 times prior to that.
looking at the catalouge it seems the pump they're selling is of a different design so i might buy it in the meantime and wait for a sale from wiggle to buy a proper leyzne one.
i also bought the knicks last time, they're fine. i haven't had anyone tell me that they're see through. then again.. im young so maybe it wasn't too much of an eyesore .
looking at the catalogue they seem to be a different design. the last ones i had didnt have any of the fancy stuff and had 'crane' lettering.
I've only worn them but they seem a bit uncomfortable. I ordered two pairs of netti knicks i picked up from graysonline a few months back, ill have to wear them for comparison.
i also bought the lights last time, good value. not much use in terms of actual light, but it fulfills the legislative requirement of having lights at night.
i also bought the tool kit.
i think i bought it for 40 or so dollars. it's cheaper now. (or maybe it was $30 back then too)
helmet is great!
comes with the 2008 sticker so meets standard. fits great as well because of the wheel adjustment thing at the back.
ill have to pick up some shirts as well.

If it's the same one I bought - then I'm waiting for it to bend in half.

The foot plate flexes as you pump it and once it gets up to the max psi for my tyres (80) it really starts to struggle and feels like it is going to snap in half.....
What annoys me the most is about a week after I bought it was in my LBS and they had Tioga ones on special for $20, still do:

I'm now convinced the only good thing at Aldi is their bananas...

http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/sp ... _14015.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
but ill pop in and see if their new pump looks okay..
ill have to go there anyway and take the old pump back and see what they say.
(the pump handle head thing actually snapped off from the body)
