I’m going to interpret this as worst high end bike...
The worst riding bike I’ve ever experienced is the Teledyne Titan. Flexy, crude...I didn’t find a single redeeming feature. I guess it’s interesting as an early ti frame, but there’s a reason a collector market never really developed around them. I bought one locally on the cheap and sold it a week later...as a ti lover, I was disappointed.

I understand they had a tendency to crack at the seat tube binder bolt slot as well. As you note, historic for their place in bike lore history, but not so much for a rider - if it's wearing the original fork. Others claim updating it with a carbon fork transforms it.
I prefer lugs, so I was never bitten by the TI Bug
