So Aldi has this offering this weekend - Sat Dec 10.
Has anyone bought this before?
Can anyone comment on the quality compared to the usual bargain basement offerings like the Reid Vintage?

shimano 7 speed gears would pretty much mean a rear freewheel, the real derailleur pretty much looks like tourney to me,
7 speed freewheel with tourney rear derailler = low quality.
compare these to what a higher end ladies stepthrough would be equipped with

Yeah that's what I thought... A used Giant or Spesh ladies bike seems to be around $300 on Gumtree. It would be wasted on the intended rider. I was looking at the Reid for xmas, but the Aldi offering might actually be a bit cheaper for similar quality?koshari wrote:look to be about on par to me.Can anyone comment on the quality compared to the usual bargain basement offerings like the Reid Vintage?

I'm interested in this topic too - Can you contrast the Aldi v the Reid v this Progear?
