Sure it does. Lets's say you live in Milwaukee. Get this Trek 4300 $110.

This bike has trigger shifters, which are worth keeping. You can get a dirt drop stem and Northwoods handlebars plus grips for $45. Mount the bars upside down. Buy some Panaracer Road slicks and tube from Nashbar for $30 total.
