Apollo mountain bike £69 of awfulness, gears never indexed, tyres like cling film, chain stretched after 3 rides, non existent plastic brakes. The best ride I had on it was walking home after taking it to the tip...
I like the sentence on the Wikipedia page for the Itera:
A hired mountain bike in Austria. I still have the scars from when it fell apart under me.
