Slurrpie,why don't you try used on Ebay.Soon the weather will get cool,and folks will be selling that bike they barely used.You can easily save $400 on a $1000 bike.
You can get a used Trek carbon fiber framed Y-bike 11 22 33 50 for maybe $450-or so with good components.The rear suspension is very low tech-you lose a bit of energy from rear suspension movement while peddling,but they are very light(bobbing).
There are the NRS framed series of bikes ;forget the manu,but just search NRS and they will turn up.NRS-no resonance system- is an anti bob rear suspension.You can get a good used on for ~$600.Trek also makes knockoffs of the NRS they call it the Fuel 80 90 100.TheseNRS type bikes have a higher tech rear suspension-anti bob-,but are generally 2 lbs or so heavier than the carbon framed Y-bikes.Luck,Charlie
