Would this count? It's my dad's, and he only spent a maximum of $50 on it between a new handlebar, grips, and inner tubes. It was found in the trash and I still can't find any information on it online. Seems like a generic Taiwanese road bike from the 1970s or 1980s, probably hi-tensile steel. I just put 9.1 miles on it today. I'm going to add maybe $0.50 worth of dry lube to the chain and gears tomorrow. It did need some derailleur adjustment but now it shifts fine.
