Check out the Transition DirtBag, its the only FS frame i can think of under a grand. It has 6 inches of travel, and from what ive heard, sounds like a good bike. But if i were you, id keep the 1000 you have and save $200 more, then buy a Santa Cruz Bullit for $1200, its an awesome bike. But if you are strictly on a budget, the Dirt Bag will do you good!
