Why not build up a dj/street bike like you were going to origionally. Ditch the gears and get a single speed kit. Take off the broken front brake. Keep the rest and the go for a 24/26 frame so you can run it with your current wheels then in the future upgrade to 24". Gotta be steel and gotta have adjustable dropouts. Something like the identiti 666 comes to mind, you can run it 24/26 and even 24" specific with upgraded dropouts, they just realeased a new version of it so it would be worth a look.

i still like the idea of getting a freeride hardtail, one that i can do everything on, DH, street and drops, kinda like the arron chase, john cowan thing, then after that get a smaller street bike, ill see how much money i have by december and decide what the do with it then

Well, you already have one of those, if that's what you want i'd save your money and stick with the UPS frame. If you want to spend something upgrade some of the parts.
