I have two bikes that I'd put in the "Just Ride" category. The first is a 1996 Trek 930 (steel fork) that I bought new-in-the-box in 2008. I think I paid $200 for it. Put on a B17, paselas, albas and think it's just about perfect. Oddball 1 1/8 threaded headset but that just gives it some character. The other is a Brompton. It's green and white with a B17, xsmall sackville, fenders, and 3 speed hub. This is the bike I grab the most often though I wouldn't classify it as a poor man's anything.
I have found that for me the key to a good "just ride" bike is the connection you feel to it without it being overly precious.
