If it's anyhing like the Aldi one, never mind what it looked like, felt distinctly kinky just wearing it to me.

The Aldi/Lidl ones are normal in comparison to the De Marchi base layers I had. It was like wearing a gimp suit. [note: I don't wear gimp suits, honest ] *


* And if you bought one from me when I sold them on here, erm ... welll ... I'm sure you like it.

ah I remember you from the last time this topic came up

Maybe I'll search your other non-cycling posts to brighten my Saturday

(I have a De Marchi gilet - purely functional - excellent - no kink involved)

PS -I do remember once seeing something in a sex shop (online or bricks and mortar can't remember) that Aldi or Lidl sold for substantially less- if I notice it again I'll post it in this thread as a public service.

Lidl baselayers= great but they are a compression fit. They make me look like the only gay in the village...

Nobody sees it. It's a baselayer .
I got one, or it might have been Aldi a couple of years ago and wear it when it's chilly.

I got one last year. Doesn't have SNELL rating but I think German quality ratings should mean good quality.

I noticed them in there too, if I hadn't purchased a contrastingly expensive Rudy Project lid the other year it would have been snapped up as I thought for the price they looked pretty good!

I have a couple of Smart 1/2 watt rear lights and I have lost the mounting bracket for one of them.

Lost my Smart 1/2 watt rear. The phaart lights fit the bracket tightly.

Obviously I have no idea the other way round.

Nah, they all drool, most of the time. Triban 5 or set of lights they would drool. Its what they spend their time doing instead of putting price tags on the things on the shelves!

I am not bitter I didnt get a job there!

Good price for an aluminium bike with carbon forks. I've not seen anything around that spec for that price. Looks like a triple too with 27 gears pitty photos don't show the whole bike.

Found some cycling related DVD's in 'The Works' going cheap. These were in the West Bromwich store but The Works usually stock the same items in all their stores nationally.

I picked up the James Cracknell Trilogy Boxset (3 DVDs, Toughest Race on Earth, Coldest Race on Earth and Race Across America) and the Le Tour de France 3 DVD Boxset (The Official History 1903-2006, The Official History 2007-2010 and Legends of the Tour de France Eddy Merckx).

They were £5 each or 2 for £8.
