I've been looking into getting a single speed road bike. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me.

Get the $13500 Di2 equipped Giant. Do not try to get a Felt the employees buy up all the stock so they can only be purchased second hand and only in 58cm.

I resent that comment! I'll have you know that there are plenty of 58cm, and other size, Felt bikes that I don't own yet!

Though I am debating another one today. That or some Di2...

If I had room for more than two bikes I would be in trouble. I was tough to sell my trusty old Kona when I got the road bike.

Difficult to build on the second floor and the basement is unfortunately rented out. It would have made a perfect place for bikes and workshop. Just need to find 2 million for a town house and its on.

i'm in the market for a new ride myself. plenty of choices out there but i'm either going steel or Ti. i've always wanted a Gios so that's one option, the other is a Lynskey Cooper. both are in a good price range for me and i'll just move parts off my Wojcik to the new bike. problem is that i don't think that i fit my Wojcik anymore. my thinking is in the last 14yrs i've shrunk a bit. so i guess i'll need to find a local shop to get a basic fitting done. i think the Lynskey will fit better it has a longer tt than the Gios. the Gios sizing is like Colnago in a way with a shorter tt. the price on the Lynskey almost makes it a no brainer. but i've been lusting after a nice lugged steel ride too. that won't happen anytime soon unless i get a real good paying job.

Thanks for all the help. The $13500 mark might be to high. Was thinking quite a bit lower maybe under the $500 range I'm a bit short on cash.
