Steel "trail" hardtail frame with rack mounts?

I'm after a steel hardtail frame to replace my old Kona Hoss.
Needs to be a good general purpose XC/Trail bike.
Should be good with 130-140mm forks.
Should be reasonably light.
Must have rack mounts!

What's out there?

On one steel frames have the mounts I think.

Genesis 520 frames but 120-130 max on Altitude.

Orange steel frames.

Loads out there.

The Reynolds 853 Genesis Altitude frame has rack mounts too for 2010.

On-One 456 and Orange P7 looking fovourite at the moment.

Does anyone know how much the Genesis Altitude 853 frame is going to cost?

Any other options?

The Genesis Altitude is meant to be about £400 I think (up from £350 for the 2009) but I've yet to find anyone stocking the frames and I haven't got a response to my emails from Genesis recently (odd as they're usually great, so it could my my emails that are duff).

One-Ones, as mentioned above, also have rack mounts.

No, its steel and only £135 – but their Ti version is 1.7/8kg for a 20", and has rack mounts!

another 456 vote – not light, is good (and cheap). Scandal might be worth a look at 130mm too
