We have a similar bike in the States (I believe we were the first with the chopper design). The Schwinn Stingray

Puch Free Spirit, loved it and hated it in equal measures.
but that example looks very nice, Silver colour looks good with lots of shiny-shiny going on, nice seat, cool how the crankset guard kind of matches the cassette/spoke guard (Chopper ? ) & I think the stem shifters always look great on any bike
 
For me it was a Bernard Dangre when I was a kid worst handling of any bike I have ever had and bad brakes. Had also a Girardengo folding bike which was pretty atrocious regarding handling and heavy.
 
“Full suspension” BSO from Decathlon in Carcassonne, the cheapest they had. To use at a friends house while there on hols. There wasn’t a single good thing about it apart from the moment when I got off it and left it there never to be seen again.
Decathlon were never quality bikes and even their so called high end bikes were far to be from the highest quality.
 
Early Peugeot aluminium road bike, can't remember the model exactly, might have been a 5000, but it had CLB branded brakes with the smallest pads you've ever seen: pretty useless in the dry, absolutely deadly when wet and then squealed like a Banshee till dry again. Last time I ever went near a French big box manufacturer.
