The ridgeback is no doubt a sweet frame, but there are several that are actually in your price range http://unrealcycles.com/uc-prod-frames.htm theres a pretty good list.

I will have to say the RidgeBack as well, its simply the sickest hardtail I have ridden. www.teamplanetx.com has some good deals, check out the specials section in the menu on the left on the home page and you might find one.
|
Up at Chico State, theres good riding up here- lots of freeride trails and tech stuff in Bidwell Park,,, but theres also 5 private lakes we can water ski at...

There is no ridgeback with a DJ1 deal...There is a pitbull with a DJ1 deal though.
What I did was I got the ridgeback + fox talas RL for 750 deal and I sold the fork on ebay for 500 dollars. so i got the frame (which retails at around 550) for 250.

there are some nice choices there. But I have to
add the Arrow DSS. It is BadAss. Check it out.
Oh,I do have a Brand New Tazer HT if that
suits your Fancy. Different Bike of course,but
a HT none the less. Out.
