Mont Blanc makes felt tip refills that will fit their rollerball, and (i believe) their ball point pens.  I have one in my Mont Blanc rollerball pen that was given to me when I finished a degree course way back when.  It's actually nice to write with and better than a rollerball.

I'm thinking up to 100$ price range, should have mentioned that. MB will be out of the range..

Waterman rollerballs can often be found under $100 on eBay, and will accept the MB fineliner refills, as well as the ones from Monteverde and others. The refills are kind of expensive as well, though.

 

How about something from Yookers:

Not that I want or need one, but those are rather nice.

"Classy" need not be expensive.

 

These are really very good, last well, perform well, look rather classy ( well maybe ! ), and for little cost you can compare tip sizes to find what line widths you prefer.

Available in two packs "Hard" or "Soft". I prefer the "Hard" set.

From what I understand, (standard) felt tip refills can be used to replace most (standard) rollerball refills. So it doesn't have to be an expensive Montblanc. I have done it with a vintage Diplomat (originally a dried out felt tip that I replaced with a rollerball and then went back to felt tip), as well as with a random no-name pen from a desk set.

 

While I was searching for a refill for the old felt tip, I happened across some information somewhere that said they are completely interchangeable (bar potential problems with proprietary systems). I have just now tried it with a Waterman Hemisphere rollerball I happen to have lying around, just to make sure I'm not mistaken, and it works just fine.

 

So that opens up a entire range of pens - practically any rollerball - you could potentially buy and swap out the fill for a felt tip refill. I have Faber-Castell refills in mine, but there are plenty of other brands in various price ranges that you could consider. Maybe not as numerous as the ubiquitous ballpoint refills, but enough to make it relatively easy to find.

 

I also have a Yookers, FWIW, and it is a fun pen to write with and has the advantage of access to the same array of colors as any fountain pen. They are just a bit harder to clean than a metal nib, so switching colors takes a bit more time/effort.

 

Hope this helps!
