Definitely Raleigh.

I know lots of people like them, but they didn't have to spend their Saturday mornings building them.

Man, they shipped some stinkers.

I can probably come up with some more brands though.

Working in a bike shop isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Edit: The maddening part of the Raleigh brand was one never knew what issues you would have until you started building. Frame alignment, whacked drop outs and poor/unsafe lugwork were my main concerns usually, but every once and awhile, one came out of the box looking like a million bucks. Now that was happy moment.
