I'd look for something used. $750 for that Talon.... fair amount of money for a very low end build. That bike is a few years from being a $300 bike. Might as well start looking for something that's already had a fair amount of depreciation. Use the extra $$ for upgrades as needed.
Here is a nice US made titanium frame, serial and BB stamp point to Sandvic made in Kennewick WA could obviously use some upgrades but for the price, tough to beat ti.
