+2 on the rigid fork MTBs. Not as sexy as an old roadie, but they are not expensive, plentiful and certainly built for abuse. Put the right tires on one along with some fenders and you've got an instant commuter.
I just sold two for a freind that were in excellent condition, ride ready, needed nothing. In the Raleigh area, which is a pretty hot bike market, I couldn't get over $100. Trust me, these two were beautiful.
