Honestly probably not, most low budget bikes are made in taiwan and are extremely similar to kilo frame and parts wise. Iro bikes and surly steamrollers are a bit ahead of this curve, you might wanna consider those.

But if i were you Id buy a kilo frame, omnium cranks, sweet wheels (or these for super low $$$), invest in some decent components, and id have a pretty great ride in the $800 dollar range.
