Giant AC Air Lite - check out the classifieds on
www.pinkbike.com www.mtbr.com and on E-Bay. You can find them for a steal and they're STOUT, yet light bikes.
6 in travel in the rear...5 in up front. Disc brakes, good mix of componets. $1,500 is definitely NOT for the whole Bullit bike built up (unless it's pretty well used).
