I use an old steel Kona, but it was more like $700 bike at one time. Now, it's completely covered in stickers, have the fenders, the wuss sorta stem, rack, and street tires. Funny. Just got a cheapo fixed gear though, and it's fun, a whole new experience. The Kona is now regulated to rainy/crappy days...
