i'm starting to look more seriously at getting a mountain bike. under 15" (that's the kicker). hardtail. hopefully i can find something decent for under $500. would prefer disc brakes or at least tabs but for the price i know that might not happen. i'd like to find something used before it dries out and and i'm forced to buy a brand new bike

If nothing else if it trail worthy as is....

If nothing else if it trail worthy as is.... If you're interested, I've got a pair of shimano 8spd trigger shifter/brake lever combo and a shimano acera rear derailleur off a '07 hardrock. They have ~600 miles on them, I switched to SRAM on the bike. The indicator lenses are a little scratched from an endo incident, but work fine mechanically and you can still read the numbers. The levers have lizard skins on them.

I need a new crankset. 170mm at the MOST. Nothing fancy, in fact something rather basic (less than $50). Has to be compatible with my 6-speed cassette. I've never replaced a crankset before so if I'm missing some key information please ask me.
This is for my Univega road bike. It is old, and the chain slips gears all the time. The chainrings are shark-toothed, and the crank arms are cheap and don't have a spider so I have to replace the whole thing. The derailers seem to be in fine shape, and same with the cassette. I will also be putting on a new chain, new cables, and new shifters.
Tell me what you have!
