Lidl Racing Bike from 16th Dec

[TrevorM]

So what do you think - keep the components and throw away the frame? Lidl Racing Bike

 

[Gerry Attrick]

Is this for real? If so, it must be a serious loss leader. Another nail in the coffin of the lbs.

 

[ian789]

Is it an Ireland only deal?

 

[MrGrumpy]

bloody hell, for 500 notes thats cracking .

 

[amnesia]

They did this last year IIRC... AFAIK it is Ireland only

 

[zigzag]

might be a good value if someone wants/needs ultegra groupset. if i could sell the rest of the bike (frameset + wheels) for £150, then it would be a good deal in my opinion.

That's height discrimination that is 53cm only, whats all that about then?

should be able to get around that price with ease


I reckon it is old stock, hence the older componants, reduced price and only 1 frame size......cracking deal!

 

[Smokin Joe]

19.5 lbs total weight isn't too sad for that price, I wouldn't race on it but I wouldn't be in a hurry to junk the frame either.

You could always put some Crud Racers on it and you've got a great winter bike.

 

[Dayvo]

Just get the frame sprayed in your favourite (team) colours and your laughing!

 

[Garz]

Great value, shame if it's only in Ireland. Like mentioned earlier would make a great winter bike if only I had the spare money.

 

[Banjo]

I am glad in a selfish way that they arent in English/Welsh shops.

I m not sure I could have resisted the temptation and Mrs B wouldnt have been amused at the N plus 1 happening again with my Scott barely a year old and my Trek less than 2 .

 

[Moodyman]

That's ridiculously cheap

Lots of discussion about the bike but I don't think anyone on a cycle forum had the bottle to actually buy one as only found a couple of comments from owners on an irish forum.
Not a sniff of a review which seems odd as you would think it would pique the curiosity of the cycle magazines even if it was just to get sniffy and slag it off.

With most of their revenue coming from cycle retailers advertising I doubt the cyclemags would want to bite the hand that feeds them by flagging that one up.
