Frame suggestions

so I have a really nice tri bike with high end components (calfee treat tri) that I can not sale at a reasonable price. I am approaching 60 and am to wobbly to ride on 23mm tires. I am building a nice road bike with 38 tires from a Raleigh C40 frame. I have all the components for that, however I have a really cheap heavy Schwinn MTB that I use for running around town. It is just too heavy. I would like to build a light mtb/hybrid/comfort bike using the drive train from the Calfee. I do want to put a suspension on the front and run 2.5 tires. I am having problems findind a frame to build on. I can find lots of Wally specials or guys that want 300 bucks for a 30 year old bike. But no inexpense light mtb frame to start from. Also, I am cheap. Any ideas or suggestions. Please provide links if this has been discussed in the past.
