I am looking for a hardtail frame for some dj, some trials, some street, and some urban. I would prefer if it was disc and V-brake compatible for sure disc though. I only have about $250 CDN to spend but i am most likely going to get it from ebay i just kinda would like to know what brand type or style of frame i should be looking for? Thanks

Have you looked at the Voodoo Shango? I think it retails for somewhere around that price. Disc compatible, removable V-brake mounts, adjustable sliding dropouts, burly gusseted steel frame.

I'd look at an On-One Gimp, not sure how much CDN it is. Otherwise the Azonic Steelhead is a great dirt cheap frame.

On ones are expensive as hell. Look at the azonic steelhead and .243 racing. Just make sure its 4130 chromoly if your gonna do hard urban on it.

all right will do and i have another quick question on this topic do you think it would be best to buy a frame in the fall or in the spring?

They are $400usd, shipped, I don't really consider that expensive for a high quality steel frame.

For a frame it doesn't matter at all.

Well if you can get some malaysia bikes, then its good cause here in malaysia, our bikes is usually around 250CND. If you can somehow make ur budget 300CND. I suggest you buying Polygon Quatro (www.polygoncycle.com). Its quite good thought. 24 Speed, Alu Cubic Frame, RST Capa T4, Shimano V-Brake, Shimano Acera Rear And Front derailleur, Shimano Acera Shifter(not revoshift), Rigida Rims, SR Suntour Chainwheel. In short its a full aluminum bike cause all the parts are alu. Well buying it will be a problem though but if you can find it or order it then its good news for you.
