"good" bike brands you would never buy, and why

Trek - Lance, ugly designs, normie shit
Giant - ubiquitous
Pinarello - lol squiggles!!
La Pierre - seriously just fuck off
Bianchi - celeste as a colour goes with literally nothing

Honorable mentions to BMC for the triple triangle and Spesh for the dumbass top tube curves, but they've both rectified those recently

Really the only thing I don't like about Trek is that, since they make such a wide range quality-wise of bikes, you can still spend a decent amount of money and end up with something fairly shitty. At least with Bianchi, he shittiest ones they have are pretty fucking good.

I judge a bike by its features, not its brand. A good bike is a good bike, only pretentious pricks care about brand.

In MTB racing days i'd laugh my ass off at guys that would break their exotic shit (because you know fuck normies right?) , where if I broke mine i'd just go to the LBS and pick up something off the shelf. If you want to win, you first have to finish.

the shittiest tier riders ride these. I had a head on collision with a biker last year who veered onto my side of the bike path for no apparent reason, maybe going too hot into the corner or just wasn't paying attention.

Other than the big three, I don't have enough opinion to judge the other manufacturers.
