Take a look at the Kona Cowan. Sweet rig and I think it is in your price range!

Yes it is a good buy. The bike is built for bigger guys, so it is rugged. You would probably be able to do what you wanted on it!!

I do not think the geometry would handle a long travel fork. I think a good single crown up to 5" would be good!!!!
Congrats on the frame. Keep me in the loop on the progress!!
