The Lithium, the Tirade and the Razorback are all decent for their specific uses.
They get good reviews are they are priced very competitively.
If I were in the market for a new complete bike, they'd make my short list of bikes to consider.

Too much for an '01 model.
There are better bikes for the same money NEW for $300.

Any suggestions?
Been looking at some of the giants too...
Really just looking for a nice used XC full sus, frame only with rear shock for somewhere around 300 not really much more.
Possible?

Increase your budget another $100 to $200 and you'll get a ton more options.
I spent $450 on my $1,300 new frame, used one season. Plus I got a spare front derailluer as well.

Looks like a nice frame at a good price. Aren't you looking for an XC bike though? I thought the AC-1 is more all-mountain/free-ride ??
Good Luck

Well in all truth I would love to have a freeride.
I am doing this as a project and a frist chance to build up a bike my self. I am tired of buying bikes from shops and feeling like I am paying for a name more than anything when I know if i had the skill to do it my self I could have done different. Like use all XT rather than a mix with some lower junk parts.
