Depends what you want the gear for some of the Aldi stuff is excellent value for commuting I have several of their Shirts for Summer and winter use. I can't afford to have an expensive shirt for everyday use. Infact just went down today and bought another shirt. They're not brilliant by the way but for genreal riding they are fine. I also own one of their Jackets but that is too wind proof and Keeps too much water in. In fact it seems its more waterproof than my water proof. No one where near as good as the 1980's Campagnola windproof it replaced.
Don't like the Shorts either but they are well padded and their gloves didn't last too long.Aldi provide a cheap range for either the commuter or recreational cyclists.And as some one said earlier when you have a small budget it reall value for money.
