Also the saddle bag, thats also good
The bottle and cage is cheap and good

I got a pair of the interchangable glasses, only glasses in my store, with XL cycle undies, unlike the gloves they seem to be generous in sizing!!

Got the computer as well so when I get my bike will have to get LBS to fit it for me. Just hoping they have more left when I get to go back!!

got this top : http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/58_9681.htm

THought it looked a bit retro so thought I would buy it seeing as it was only 7 quid.

Also got two more pairs of socks and some gloves, all of which is going to be trialled tonight for the first time

Yeah the gloves are ridiculously small made - bought a size XL thinking that would be plenty sufficient...ended up giving them to my mini me.

I've never needed to wear it, touch wood but my sister picked me up one of their showerproof jacket, I'm impressed with its size.

Aldi 09 soft shell jackets

I wanted a soft shell jacket but the material seemed very rubbery compared to my current Aldi one and I just couldn't get my arms down the sleeves, even on the L and XL sizes, and I haven't got particularly large arms!

Same here - I bought a medium this year but it's far too tight on the arms - and interesting to hear that larger sizes aren't much bigger on the arms. Also last year's Crane jackets (the first I bought from Aldi) had a little zip pocket on the front which I find incredibly useful - but I struggle to find the same feature on other 'budget' jackets (including at Decathlon). Anyone got any ideas?
