Where does the Quantum slot into the Iron Horse line?

Have the opportunity to get one, new, for about $250, but was wondering about the specs. Seems like a decent, solid bike. Can anyone back this up or refute? The one I looked at had a Marzocchi Comp fork (can this lock out), and Hayes 'IH1" disc brakes, tektro brake levers, SRAM x4 shifters, Truvativ X-Flow crank.

I have a Nashbar steel frame that I was going to build up to a singlespeed, and am now wondering whether the Quantum might be worth a buy to strip for its parts and sell off the rest, or to ignore the Nashbar frame and convert the Quantum to SS?

I've been scouring craigslist lately for used bike to do something similar with, but in my area (DC) people seriously overvalue their old stuff, to the point where it's not worth it.

Anyone have any opinions?

PS- 'List price' on the tag in store is listed at 599, then a price drop to 499, then on sale to 329...
