My 26er SS was from Soul Cycles, and I LOVED it. Try some of the lesser brands for a SS - Motobecane makes a SS-specific frame, kona makes one, etc.).

I'm sure whatever you decide will work well. SS'ing is addictive though

Great advice, SheFly, thanks. And indy, thanks for the Thudbuster thought. I'll go have a look at Motobecane and Kona -- I honestly had no idea even where to begin to look for SS bikes.
