    have you had a look at the Merlin Malt frames:

    Not hideously expensive and a well regarded frame :D
    Wow great ship man. Looks like a fish, flies like a fish, steers like a cow.

    Have a look at CRC and Brand XC frames, or Supercycles, or this:

    Vertical dropouts so will need to run a tensioner.

    I'd have a good look on ebay TBH.... If (by the sound of it) its just a second bike then get a cheap steel frame from there, buy a tensioner and Bob's yer fannys aunt.
