Scott isn't bad as a brand name but their model names are junkie as hell.
>Addict
>Foil
>Speedster
>Spark

A bad brand name would be Ghost Bikes, I would never ride on bad luck like that.

Time and Look are probably the worst examples. Both are french brand and their trademark is making high quality made in france frame and they have super generic english name. Quite retarded

Before I got into cycling I would always cringe so hard at Look bikes, specially since they were always covered in LOOK LOOK LOOK decals. To me, they screamed "LOOK AT MY FREDSLED".
I guess you just get used to it.

luescher cut up a canyon and said the build quality was excellent, there were no major problems with it. If I had to choose between two statements regarding canyon I'd go with Luescher because hambini just makes some claims about the frame quality (aside from the BB) being shit without providing any proof.

Luescher also said every canyon frame he's had so far was fine.

All City is a terrible name. And they add terrible model names to it. Clumsy and doesn't sound like a brand to people who never heard of it.
There's about 3 or 4 component brands named "Velo".
>Yes hi I would like 'computer' brand mouse, thanks.
Boardman. Yes a bored man bike.
Look and Time. Very stupid use of common words.
>"Oi ye m8 just made a new best time on my Time time trial bike"
