    Urgent message for the Bike lot

    I was in Lidl doing some shopping and came across this bike.

    http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/lidl-to-sell-ultegra-equipped-road-bike-in-london-stores-22079

    Aparently the bits are high end and it looked lovely.

    The price was £650 and the bits include 'latest Shimano Ultegra Range Components'
    It look ace and weight 8kg's without pedals, I could lift it with my finger.

    Aparently the chainset and the wheels alone cost £500.

    It is aluminium.

      That's incredible value. I mean, the frame could be a total pig, and that would still be incredible value...

        In that case, i'll go purchase tomorrow if they still have them.

        What frame size should i get?

        I am 5 foot 10 with and inside leg measurement of 32 inches?

          I'd go for about a 54 or 55cm frame. I'd also add a little letter 'i' to the end of the Stratos.

            TG for about the same money you could buy one of these gorgeous babe magnets...



            It's a Cinelli Mystic Rats.

              I picked it up for £650, not put it together yet.
              Thanks for the advice guys.

              Purple, isn't that a single-speed bike?

                  TPC: not fair.

                  TG: you beat me to that. I saw the advert and wasnt awake. (Bit like the TV stuff, you have to be there well early. They were selling 32" HD TV's for less than £200...)

                  However I got a local rag, and might just have found a bargain (rusty as fuck, only 6 gears, saddle looks like it has been ... well...)

                  and I took an instant love to it. £40. It will get me from there, to here.
