I can't find any more info on the Lidl website, but sounds like a good spec.

As to how well it would be set up and the ride itself :?

    That frame must be garbage if they're making any money.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    i dunno i read in a magazine called the bicycle buyer, where the cost of producing a bike comes from. there's alot on manufacturer mark up, brand mark up, distributor markup etc. if its going manufacturer, lidl then the customer, its factors out all those high costs that add nearly 40% onto the price of a bike. also their margin will be low because of who they are, id definatley like to try one.

    I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole. All they've done is bung Ultegra onto a crap frame and unload them for little money. It's not going to be good bike in terms of performance, how can it be?
