Not showing on the internet for my area but I have had the leaftlet thru the door with it in, although the house cleaning product is advertised on the net..... strange !
I got the feet warmer things. Perfect for filling out your boots if they're a little large.
Tank bag's ok too although one of the magnets has actually broken in mine.

You get what you pay for with that stuff . I bought some of their Crane cycling wear , it lasted 2 rides and fell apart , took it all back and got a refund .
I bought the Crane undersuits and they really are quite good under my one piece leathers.

Yeah , stuff like that is worth the money , I`ll agree . Anything that can come on for a bit of abuse though , don`t expect it to stay in one piece for long . They are made to a budget and do what they supposed to , but not for long . Mates have Aldi tank bags thrown in corners after 3 months use , gloves that have seams coming apart ..... I won`t touch the stuff myself , Once bitten , twice shy as their waterproof cycling trousers let me down in the middle of nowhere and I was soaked through , shivering , white as a bone and generally thinking how dangerous this stuff can be if you happen to be in the wrong situation , like a tank bag coming away from the tank at speed and flapping down the side of your bike like one of my mates .
Their heat regulating under trousers and t shirts are brilliant! We'll get another set of those each if they're available. Not because ours have fallen apart........they are still as good as when we first bought them and we wear them all the time under leathers now...............but because it's always handy to have spares:D
Funny, I'm on my 2nd lidl tank bag. The last one managed 2 full winters before the map hold plastic split, but other then that is fine. Keep as the spare. The 15 gloves I have a bloody marvellous having lasted 2 very wet AR's and 2 full winters with-out a leak. Which is more then could be said for the expensive stuff.
Aldi on the other hand I have had 2 jackets and they both leaked, got my last one from lidl and so far so good.

mini tank bags are awesome, as is base layer suit, the lock i bought 3 years ago is the same a motrax charge £40 for (lidl £8 )
Didn't get on with any of the bike2bike radio or pillion 2rider gear. I think that could be as my lid is a tight fit.

I bought one of their tank bags 3 yrs ago and its been brilliant for the £5 or so i paid! Its been all over the pace thru some really crappy weather too and even to germany and back... but i cheated on that one cos i took it on a plane :D
My local shop aint doing it either, boo!

My first mini tank bag is coming to the end of its life (15K miles) ended up having to buy one on Ebay for twice/thrice I paid in lidl. (£10 ebay)
and yet its still in my eyes, a bargain!

First set of Crane waterproofs I had were mint, but the Hospital cut them up :( so bought another pair, & they are like wearing a normal pair of pants - they are quite literally pants :( Need to get another pair, take these back & see if I can get a refund
i got a £3 mini tank bag......... its awsome, realy handy
also got the 2 piece waterproofs, for £19.99, which kept me dry at the N/S when it lashed down
i think all there stuff is good, apart from the lids,
boots are not the best but for £24 not bad?
I fancy at least the tank bag - can't go wrong at that price...
Just hope my store does it - will pop down on Monday and see
Thanks for the heads-up!

What time do lidl shut?
I'd be more interested in what time they open... I believe they get a lot of market traders and the like queueing up very early to buy up as much as they can.
Still no mention on their website.
Is this stuff cheap and good? Seems too good to be true in this age!
Anyone know if the Basingstoke branch sells it? :)

Cheers sorry for appearing lazy! As I remembered (wrongly obviously) lidl had a very ppor website so doubted it'd be on there.

That's right actually the training schools near me do it.

that must be your blue sv in motts?????
saw it in there when i picked mine up last friday, if it is then it's very nice:cool: i was tempted to go for that too, but was told they wouldn't have another til november:( and i was far too impatient.

Yep, been sat there for over a week whilst they wait for the restrictor! :(
They told me that the blue wouldn't be available till November as well, then had a phone call a couple weeks ago saying "we have a blue do you want to see it and decide between the blue or black?".
Which one did you go for then?
You been to Lidl yet?
not been to lidl yet (job for the morning) got the black sport with red seat, put 260 miles on it over the weekend, and hopefully taking it to newquay for the weekend on a lads surfing trip. luckily i don't have a restrictor fitted to mine. will have to go out for a blast once you get yours, trip to alton is always a winner ;)
