Bike wanted for 5'1" feisty female

[obie]

Hello!
I've caught a bit of the mountain bike bug and am looking to purchase a mountain bike, so that I don't have to carry my cross bike all over the trails (though that's fun too!)
I bought my cross bike from a teammate (NEBC) and that worked really well, so I thought I'd check and see if I could find a (somewhat) gently used mountain bike, and get a bit more bang for my buck. It's also nice to recycle bikes!
Here is my info:

I'm 5'1" and my beloved Specialized HardRock (my commuting bike) is a size 14.5 - fits me perfectly. I have a long torso and short legs.

I was biased towards hardtails but rode a Santa Cruz Blur over the weekend and was pretty impressed.

I was looking at bike in the Stumpjumper "level" of bikes, which is at a MSRP of about $1000 to $1300. I would like to spend $800 or less on a used bike.

Um, I'm not sure what else to specify. You can count on me to give your neglected/overshadowed bike a good home :) I was in charge of the MassBike Festival the past five years so I'd also feed the bike with plenty of pie.
Please feel free to pass this along.
Happy riding,

How about my single speed? See the posting on the Access 16" SS bike. it would fit PERFECTLY! And if you decided you really had to have gears, I can probably get that going for cheap money too!

I had toyed with building it up for sale with gears but went this way instead. Not hard to rebuild and I would do the work for free. If you were really interested we could talk about what it might take. Still way less than what you are suggesting.
