The Pake frame is sold by those nice people who supply Soma, the Pake costs $200 for a new steel frame.

add this fork: http://www.bikeman.com/KON-P2CRS.htm..._campaign=MTBR

Then buy a doner bike for $450 and take the parts from it!

Here isa new $550 doner bike, just sell the frame on ebay for $200 and you are under budget: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-2009-ALUMINU...QQcmdZViewItem
