First Lidl now Aldi Bike Gear

[map]

Following on from the earlier thread on Lidl bike gear I see that Aldi has stuff from 24 March 08.

Website link click here

Did a search and couldn't find anyone else mentioning Aldi and this date but apologies if already posted.

FWIW got the socks last year and can give them a big thumbs up

Good find... have some

I'll probably get the jacket from Lidl as it's longer and the pants from ALDI because they are cheaper.

May also invest in the lock as the cover for mine has just come off.

Rain Suite

Me and my ped can look fantastic then

Aldi and Lidl are pretty much the same company, set up by brothers.

The thermals are not availiable in small from ALDI, but are from LIDL . . . little 'uns like me, be warned and warmed!

that is the way quite often with Aldi's and Lidl's. i am on the mailing lists for both companies and they Aldi's tend to have the same products (ie: garden stuff, bike stuff, DIY stuff) a few days after Lidl's. prices are different and perhaps the products themselves are different. but im considering the boots, shame i want some before friday really and not monday. but depends how i feel - i may just wait.
so, anyone tried the Aldi boots (or the Lidl ones as im sure they are very similar anyway)

[colin1]

i tend to think aldi stuff is better quality, but lidl have more interesting quirky stuff, like the budget charger

Neither do anything big enough for me

Quality,

there is an Aldi much closer to where I live than the nearest Lidl.

I went in to a lidl to check there helmets out once and could't find any bs or e markes on them so left well enough alone, they are likely fine to use but did not want to risk it.

[ms51ves3]

The helmets aren't that cheap. If I was looking for a budget helmet I would definately prefer a Nitro.

which is better gear out of the following:


Lidl courda trousers or the Aldi trousers
Lidl tank bag or the Aldi bag


I'd just bought some Frank Thomas boots for £80 now Aldi have some that look ok (probably not as good) but for £28.


I need:
Tank bag
Cover
Thermal/compression top/bottoms
Disc lock

I already have the tank bag, that was a bargain in its self.
Looking at the socks, turtle neck or the thermal stuff.
Rain suit maybe.

I have the Lidl 'SquareBase' tank Bag, bought maybe 2-3 years ago at £13 then. Lasted well - more than happy!
