[Closed] is there a bike brand that no-one hates?

Surly
Cotic
Singular
Charge
Salsa
Jones

Apart from singular those brands are all a bit meh, I'll add ribble, planet-x, on-one and canyon to that list of dull bikes and their equally dull evangelists/fanboys

Black sheep

Curtis, DMR, Ragley etc - All seem like decent brands with a pretty loyal following, mainly due to their products simplicity and bombproof nature. On the other side you have Intense / Yeti / Santa Cruz side of the coin - whilst being "cool" and handmade, these give you the utter ball ache of buying spares from distributors who couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

Hard to hate Ragley I'd have thought?

Not for my mate who waited over a year for a replacement frame that was also stuffed when it finally turned up.
