    It depends on what you mean by cheap.

    The Italix range from Mr Pen have quite a following and come with a range of nibs.

    Lamy Safari, you can buy 1.1, 1.5 and 1.9mm nibs.

    The cheapest pen I know of with a BB or C in this case is the Platinum 3776 Century pen, but that's a gold nib. BBB I'd guess is going to be gold only also. Most steel nibs only go up to B.
