Trek has several other 23" MTBs and might have one close to 1k like you're looking for. The Marlin is pretty basic and runs about $600. I'm thinking the X-Cal or one of the other HT 29ers. I don't think they make any 23" frames for 27.5 wheels, but I could be wrong.
Thanks. I am going to look into these. I like that Trek also has numbers around frame stack and reach which are hard to find with some other bike manufacturers.
