Needs to be folding in some way too, but kitted out with equipment like great big panniers so you could never fold it

The tyres should be one with the amber/skin wall and one black wall

The rider should be obliged to skid to a halt at any given opportunity, then pop a wheelie when setting off again

How about a generic budget/pound-stretcher helmet, but worn back-to-front as seems to happen all to often in the real world?

No no no, there's only one contender for the rider's helmet. It HAS to be a Met Parachute (original incarnation).

But fixed gear is light whereas alfine 11 is heavy.... also ficed gear leaves only one brake type to argue over.

Dyno / electric hub. Broken, naturally.

Oi, nothing wrong with a DCD, if it's meant to be bad it needs one of them trans-x jockey wheel imitations.

Bar ends should be pointed perpendicular to the ground, so that elderly riders down have to lean too far forwards

Brakes are good, more brakes must be better.

Disc, roller hub and V brakes all at once please.

All this talk of risers seems silly in a world where the combination of butterfly bars and clip on tri-bars exists.

Those comfy touring bars at about 160 degrees with bar ends with tennis balls on the end and a set of tri-bars.

It doesnt have to be bad kit it just has to divide opinion! So I am sticking a dropper post.A reallu expensive one Nd eggbeaters because they used to break so they all break.

As for brand I think On One would be the most aggressively argued at the moment. And a Brooks titanium railed jobbie.

Fit loads of Superstar and One One parts then watch as STW and it's users spontaneously combust or regale you with bullsh*t stories of a mate of a mate of a mate who actually died from using them and then their outrageous customer service. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The saddle must have a drawstring padded cover and point up at a ridiculous angle.

And the rear tyre must be way below recommended pressure.
