In my experience not many come with a bb. I’ve just been through this scenario and picked up a second hand Miche Primato with bb for £60. Having said that I specifically wanted 144bcd as I have other cranks and rings and wanted interchangeability.
It is well worth your while keeping an eye on the classifieds

genetic tibia is pretty good, not as cheap but good finish and strong.

Sugino rd2 cranks are still good value. BB separate tho.
Some places mark them up horrendously, but still to be had for around 60 -

Think I have some spare SA cranks and a BB in the garage. Will have a look + check condition when I get home tomorrow, if you're interested?

If you don't mind classic looks and square taper then i really rate Andel cranks with a Shimano UN55 BB. Proper 144 track BCD so you'll have no issue picking up a cheap chain ring on here. Unlike some of the others doing cheaper gear Hubjub are a nice shop to deal with.

Super budget? Convert a road square taper chainset to one ring. Otherwise ^ Andel, didn't Sram used to have a courier crank?
It's been a few years (10!) since I last owned a fixie.
Is there a go to crankset and BB combo to buy? Even if its value.
This? Or better for circa the money and do any come with a included BB?
