Not a hardtail, but still a pretty smokin deal http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3604745344&category=27948

Unlikely to stay this low, but we can dream http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3605030150&category=27947

Could do worse http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3605421576&category=27947

Mmmmm S-Works http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3605518145&category=27947

If you loke to build bikes from the ground up, check this deal out at

JensonUSA (http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product.asp?number=18830)

It is a pretty sturdy frame. I needed an inexpensive hardtail to build up for 4X so I just purchased this one. I will have about $450 total in the bike when finished. It is a disc specific frame though, so you will need to run discs brakes.

Also they have the Jenson Durango SX at Jenson for $95 and does not require discs. I know I picked up one a few weeks ago to build up a bike from spare parts for my son. Has not been ridden yet, but I'm very impressed with the quality of the frame so far.
