Appears Aldi's in Hounslow are having difficulty shifting these if anyone is after one. I was over there yesterday and noticed there were roughly the same amount as when I was over last week, so decided to head back today to purchase one.
There heavier than I thought though not too bad and like me if you need to carry it as far as the bus station from Aldi's you soon start to notice.
Might be worth phoning before you head over, I don't won't to send everyone on a wild goose chase.

They also have a couple of Bike Stands for storing your bikes on too which didn't look reduced and quite a few of the Merino Ladies' Long-Sleeved Tops as well. I didn't notice if the tops were reduced though there were quite a few as mentioned. I didn't notice much else really as I was in a rush to get back home.
These stands are pretty good. They have to be heavy enough to hold the bike up without tipping over. At that price it's a bargain - and mucking around with a bike on a stand is much easier, and kinder to your bike, than turning it over on the ground and doing your fettling upside down. Bargain! Hot.

Echo the comments about this stand, very useful, especially when cleaning bike/chain and indexing gears etc. I find it's best to hold the bike by the seat post with this stand, especially do this with a carbon framed bike

Thanks for the comments and makes sense what wantsomepls says about the weight of these. And thanks to everyone who voted for this offer as well, I didn't actually think this would get as much attention as it has. Mind you I shouldn't be so surprised when you consider how much Aldi has reduced these to.

Absolutely agree. Need to hold bike, wing nut and knob all at the same time, although I usually get the wife to hold the knob for me.

No luck in Sheffield. Tried both Aldis and didnt find one in either. Shame :disappointed:
They did have the one for storing two bikes but it was £30

Managed to check Halifax Pellon last night, and still full price there too.

I'm surprise these are still selling full price as I posted this over five months ago. I think the stock they currently have was available from 19 March though as I just checked their website. May be still worth keeping an eye on to see if they eventually reduce the price.
Good luck.

Hounslow branch has these on reduced price for £20 down from £25.
Bought one today. Too good for a bargain to miss otherwise average at £40 for the cheapest.
At £20 I can't go wrong as I will only ever use the bike stand max 3 times in a year, just makes fiddly jobs to quick and effortless.
