Ikea Sladda

Some of you may be aware of this but it’s new to me, Ikea now offer a bike. Looks quite reasonable, along the lines of the Decathlon town bikes. And yes you have to assemble it. Here’s a review:

Ooh, belt drive!

[QUOTE 5159998, member: 259"]I had a look at one in Ikea. I didn't ride it though. They're pretty clunky in the flesh, and they seem to weigh a lot.[/QUOTE]

My thoughts too.

Is it actually available in the UK? Looking in their website they don't seem to have the bike itself, they have helmets and racks, but not the actual bike. Am I missing something?

Does it come flat packed with a sachet of glue and a cartoon strip of instructions telling you how to remove the gearbox from a Marina?

I wanted to see if they had the instructions/spec in the website, but they don't seem to, or at least I can't find them.

Wow, it actually looks pretty good.

In a moment there will be somebody along who says they ride one and overtook a mamil on a full plastic bike going up a steep hill.

If you can read German (or right click on your mouse and ask it to translate) then there's a whole page about the entire range here:

Sadly no assembly instructions though!

Thanks, I do read a bit of German, and that link covered my questions. I don't understand why the UK site doesn't have the same information.

Because we don’t speak German?

 

[C R]

I wasn't expecting the information in the UK site to be in German

The UK site page for the bike is strange, it has no info about the bike at all, it has a link to the warranty document for the bike and links to helmets and racks to match the bike, but nothing about the bike itself.

Yes, we do

What do you mean you don't speak German? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout.
