I don't think anything I have qualifies as bad quality. The cheapest I have is a Medici f/f that I got probably 10 years ago for a lowball "what the heck" bid on eBay (~$100, maybe less). Since nobody beat my bid, I ended up with it. It was powder coated (most likely) or repainted a nice sort-of burgundy color and given mediocre to poor repro graphics (they look home made). The seller said it was Tange Prestige tubing, but I cannot confirm that.

How does it ride? I don't know - I have never gotten around to building it up, the only frame I ever purchased that has not been called upon to hold up my weighty carcass. It languishes in my basement along with two formerly ridden but now retired frames (2000 Lemond Zurich, 1993 Russ Denny-built Fuso). It's probably time I moved them along . . . .
