Inexpensive frame
I am kind of getting back into biking, the last time I bought a bike SIS shifting didn't exist. Today I bought a 2003 khs xc504 at the the pawn shop unfortunalty the bottom frame is cracked and I know that is death to AL frame, I got it for $80 so I figured the rest of the stuff on it was worth that and I would try to find a frame to put it on, I am not going to do any serious off road stuff, just riding with my kid so I can loose some weight (currenly a petite 270). I know the wife has the "you aint going to start spending money on another new hobby are ya" look on her face, I have a bunch of guitars and cameras now. So I just want to find something that I can use in the <$200 range. I have done some internet searching but can't find many frames only. Thanks for the advice.

Nashbar has a frame I've heard good things about for a cool 45 bucks. Worth looking into here

Keep in mind, the bb, seat post and headset may not fit the new(er) frame.
Good luck, mtbiking is a great way to have fun and loose weight
