Whats the WORST bike you've ever actually owned and ridden??

[RockCoach]

My worst bike as a kid was this:

Mostly because it weighed over 20kgs and the seat wasn't height adjustable. But I had lots of fun bouncing off drops

Raleigh RDS5 dual sus bike. Fully kitted with paddle shift XTR. The biggest piece of crap I ever bough, the rear shock just bobbed, it was heavy and those stupid gear shifters that were built into the brake levers.

Ok, so hands-up anyone who actually rides and loves one of these bikes mentioned here!

only just retired my 2003 santa cruz superlight. Brilliant bike.

26" Specialized stump-jumper FSR 2012

Agreed. I had the SWORKS version...never did it for me. The "brain" on that frame is crap, and you cannot replace the rear shock, as it was "Spezially" designed for that frame.

Edit.  Wrong thread.

I had a Raleigh bomber as a kid / teenager and I thought it was a pretty cool bike. Could wheelie for miles. I had a 3 speed one. Loved that thing. Took me everywhere

Time RXRS Ulteam: Rattle the teeth out of your mouth. Too hard and way overpriced. Must say good looking

[BMXER]

Husqvarna te enduro, don't buy Italian......

Dude, I loved this thing. Road the *** out of it. Frame eventually broke. If it wasn't for that I'd probably still have it...

In 2004 I spent all my savings on a cannondale scalpel that was too small and too aggressive for my style of riding. Should have gotten a jeckel, but I was light bike bedonnerd. That bike held my riding back 10 years.

That is one of the most honest things I've ever heard on this site!

This piece of shyte. Worst of all, I started on the road with it.   

Gave it to one of my workers a few years back (it was gathering dust and cobwebs in the garden shed) He is still riding it to this date.

I hated my Bomber, always felt like it wasn't a 'real' bike. It wasn't a BMX, which I wanted, and it also wasn't a racing bike, which after a while I really wanted. The graphics of bombs embarrassed me, too.

While it was a 'proto-MTB', I wasn't into MTB until 2007...which is a shame, I mean, I grew up in Howick, a most excellent place for trails! Mind you, the road riding, which I did a lot of, was pretty good down there in the early 1990s, no potholes and that.

That's so bad it actually offends me.
