I've seen it here, but for everything, not even C&V. A decent bike-shop level 700C hybrid won't get any nibbles at $75, IGH or otherwise. A $450 MTB is a $75 bike, if you're lucky. Something along the lines of a Raleigh Grand Prix as a frameset won't get a nibble for $35, and be prepared to sit on any 3-speeds at $50 or higher.

Even something equipped with NR or an '80s Campagnolo group - when halfway-decently priced - won't move. (The problem is, nobody is ever selling one of these. N+1=N! )
