Running your Hillborne as a single speed would be tons of fun. You could actively hang around on the list here and ebay and craigslist and wait for a Quickbeam in your size to come around You could check out the Soma B-side, but I think that's a disc-only thing Check out Rawland. The Olaf was a single speed 650B bike. Those come around from time to time as well.
