As happens frequently on HUKD you are confusing cost with value.
What's better?
A crude, heavy bike that is hard to ride and therefore doesn't get much use and that loses 80% of its value, say £60?
Or a well-designed bike that its rider loves to use and so rides more often, can go on proper rides with mum & dad etc. and might lose only 15% of its value, the same £60?
Appreciate not everybody can drop £3-400 on a "kids bike" but considering that the cost over the two years or so it'll be used (by one child anyway) is pretty much the same, having access to a much nicer bike which (in my experience) won't break or need adjustment as often, makes the cheaper bike very poor value in comparison.
In my opinion we do our kids a disservice buying them junk like this. Might sound snobbish but kids are more likely than most adults to actually use a bike and deserve something decent.
Good price considering Decathlons offerings are £95

Looks very good for a bike with 6 speed shimano gears. I called the number on the Aldi site and it went through to Raleigh who say they built these bikes for Aldi. They also said a bike of this spec should cost anything from 120 to 170 quid so HOT!
