Least bang for the buck
We're always looking for the best deals and most bang for the buck in bikes and components. But how about the worst deals and least value for money spent? Don't we need a thread for this as well?
So, I submit the following for your consideration and invite you to contribute something even worse.

Is the Gritty that bad of a deal? It will probably sell for less than $400. I am sure the components are really generic, but it is still pretty reasonable for a starter. Just my opinion.
