Generally a hardtail means a mtn bike with front suspension, simply because most bikes come at least with that now. It's very difficult to find a bike (mtn) without a suspension fork nowadays.
It sounds wonderful to me that you take such good care of your bike(s)... I wish everyone were like thatRegardless, by taking good care of your bike, in the long run, you generally save yourself some money. However, I do agree with you, keeping the engine in shape makes a HUGE difference! That's my goal for this upcoming winter season!
As for lightweight bikes, they are definitely out there, although as I'm sure you are aware, a bit more expensive. I think if I were looking for a lightweight mtn bike(hardtail) I'd look into Luna, Margo definitely has a very good reputation and is very knowledgeable as well. And of course, a fellow TE"er doesn't hurt
