Wanted: cheap M/L 29er

I'm looking for a cheap medium-large (17"-19") 29er. Something like an old Monocog. Must have disc tabs. Single speed is preferred and a rigid fork is fine. I really just need frame, fork, wheels, and a set of BB7's or similar.

What's out there? Only looking to spend a few hundred.

I've got a GT Karakoram similar to this one below I'm going to let go.  It is a med but seems closer to a large.  I bought it for my son but it didn't fit him very well so I'm going a different route.  I think it has been ridden less than 10 times.

Thanks Yellowduck. I sent you an email.

My ideal setup would be a steel single speed (slotted dropouts or EBB), disc specific, rigid fork. I'd also consider a klunker or disc CX bike.

Thanks.

I'm really looking for a 29er. I want to run it with some fast rolling tires and use it mostly around town. I will be going 650b on my next mountain bike though.
