Winter gear at Aldi next week

[LizardEye]

Some good stuff next Thursday (16th).

Drool here

SPD shoes for £20
Merino shirt - £15
Nice looking pannier rack for a tenner

I bought a pair of the bib longs a couple of years ago and they're briliant

Next problem, how to sneak it into the collection!

I actually like that merino (if you can call it that when it's only 30% merino!) shirt. Very retro inspired. I'd probably give it a go.

Some good looking stuff there! Doesn't have to cost the earth or have a flashy name to be much cop!

Wish there was an Aldi near me!

Bugger !

Thursday is the ONE day next week when I have absolutely no chance of getting to an Aldi.

Thanks for the heads up. I am looking at buying some winter cycling gear and was about to buy a Endura Laser Cycling jacket for £35 along with some gloves.
Does anyone know what the quality is like for cycling gear from Aldi ? Particularly the Winter Cycling Jacket £19.99 and the Gloves £4.99. As long as they keep me dry and warmish then I would be happy to buy from Aldi and save some money.

Mmmmm . . . . . Spanish Hot Chocolate. Now that's what I call winter cycling stuff.

It's usually pretty good. You would expect to
pay at least twice as much anywhere else.

Having said that I bought nowt last year as the quality wasnt as good as previously.

But definitely good for trashing through another bad winter.

Anyone have an opinion on the SPD shoes. I could do with a pair, but are they any good?

In general Aldi's stuff seems a little better than Lidl's

I've been using Lidl SPD shoes for over a year with no complaints... so I was going to get some Aldi ones for "sunday best"
Cheap? Moi?

They will probably have run out of my size by the time I get there though.

with a slug of the Spanish Brandy in it?

The gloves are excellent and the jacket is good for the price but not very breathable.

I was looking at the arm and leg warmers as well as some of the reflective armbands.I asked mrs CK to go down on thursday while mini CK is at pre school and she reckons she doesn't have time.

Lazy Biatch shes got 3 hours !
It means i will have to make a trip after work by which time all the best will have gone

Are the winter trousers padded? Can't tell from the pic

 

[guitarpete247]

I'll have to pay them a visit . I have some of their summer stuff and I'm happy with that. All except the track pump which I've managed to bodge to work for presta only.

 

[Ben M]

What do we reckon to the quality of the arm and leg warmers?

Going over to the Records office at Newcastle on Friday and had intended to look in at Evans sale for several bits of kit but I might put it off now
