        These are not like Aldi bikes. Aldi bikes are junk - these ones are well made, with name brand components.

        Any credibility you had had just gone out the window.

        I suppose Shimano is no longer a name brand component?

          Hey wow, that bike looks quite comparable! Well, I was wrong.

        • mikaelkn on 22/07/2016 - 10:10

          The only advantage Reid has over the Aldi bike is the pre-assembly and possibly fitting. But that being said, if you're planning to become a keen cyclist then it's probably a good idea to google around on the basics of bicycle maintenance and fitting. I rode a poorly assembled bicycle (loose brake cables, over tighten cranks) that I purchased from Lawrencia Cycles (Hawthorn) for 8 months before upgrading the gears.

          @blitz:

          Given the cycling community has some of the snobbiest and arrogant people you could meet, it brought me great pleasure seeing it handed to you over your disdain for a supermarket bike. Thank you for admitting you were wrong. Hugs.

      That Aldi supermarket bike was a solid deal, but there are many advantages of buying direct from an Australian owned cycling business that designs, manufactures and sells direct to customers.

      Reid provides:

      • Australia's best bike warranty; a lifetime warranty on the frame & forks, 2 years on parts.
      • Free servicing for 12 months on any bike.
      • Bikes designed in Australia by experts who ride - they're considered and well built.
      • Customer service & expert advice pre-purchase. Get the right bike for you.
      • After sales support. Every call is answered by a cycling expert who can provide advice.

      Essentially we do our best to provide great bikes at an awesome price, and ensure people are supported to ensure they're happy with their purchase and continue to enjoy riding long after buying a bike.

        You should wear a helmet to avoid this type of injury…

    Which one goes faster? This bike or Impreza WRX STI?

  • renaldof on 22/07/2016 - 09:59

    Would it be too much to ask one of our ozbargain bike specialists about which is the best bike, Reid or Aldi's? Ignorance is not a bliss :(

    • troyww on 22/07/2016 - 10:06

      A friend bought a Reid road bike last year and it's still going strong but I personally found the geometry to be awful . If your considering either , go have a sit on one and see which you feel more comfortable on . Buying a bike blindly on specs seems a bit crazy to me .

      • troyww on 22/07/2016 - 10:10

        Edit , Specs are important but feeling safe and comfortable are more important IMHO .

      • tron07 on 22/07/2016 - 17:12

        I have a reid ospry elite…I reckon that they are good value for money. Got free lights, lock, pump, etc bundled in when I purchase them few years ago, and got test rides, sized up, etc. Deal was posted on OZB as well.

        Most beginners will not know what size suits them, or ended up buying a M size Aldi bike when they require a S or L.

    • hellbound on 22/07/2016 - 10:07

      The aldi has a carbon fork and a more complete groupset so specs wise it's a better bike.
      Fit is also important though, and the reid has more sizing options. Better a well fitting bike then a poor fit that has better components

      • bargaino on 22/07/2016 - 11:25

        and a more complete groupset

        The Reid bike has "Tourney A070" vs Claris on ALDI.
        - that word "tourney" is a worry, as seen on K-mart bikes. Is it just a rebadged 2300 group, or a lower-quality version ?

        The aldi has a carbon fork

        The only advantage of that is a small weight saving, at the expense of durability.
        Carbon forks became fashionable because alloy is a poor choice, and steel was unfashionable due to alum alloy becoming better for frames.

        (The bit about shock absorption / springyness is an urban legend that refuses to die.)

        • hellbound on 22/07/2016 - 11:45

          Tourney is lower on the rungs than claris (2300 group became claris when 2400 came around) and is usually whats on a bike that advertises "shimano components". Reid threw a few claris components in there, better than nothing.

          Carbon fork is to reduce road buzz when running high psi tires. Link to evidence it doesn't do this?

        • bargaino on 22/07/2016 - 12:11

          @hellbound:
          "road buzz" is not a scientific term. You might as well ask me to disprove God :)
          But you can google plenty of pointless arguments on this topic on the 'net.
          Any useful argument will get technical - young's modulus, etc.
          Most people argue based on personal experience only, and comparing forks and bikes that vary in many other factors.
