Aldi or lidl sometimes get them in but they go really quickly, I got one of these from these guys and it's great!

That looks exactly like my lidl one, except it costs £10 more and doesn't appear to include the thing that holds your bars steady

Thats probably why the Lidl ones go so quick then.

I got one from Aldi abut 12 mts ago. it was £29 and worth every penny.
3 sections of 2x2" box section up-right,s with fixing holes all the way up, and 4 18" curved arms for holding the bikes or bike your working on.

I,m not a big Aldi go-er but my neighbor showed me his

and thought it would be good for me because "your always fcuking about with bikes" ?

The one I got is the same as far as I know, it comes with the bar to hold your forks. After 4 failed attempts to get one from lidl i paid the extra. Well worth it. Wish id got one years ago.
