my willpower is beginning to subside and i feel myself forced to buy a single speed soon...can anyone recommend a good place to buy a complete SS online...since no shops around here carry them? or is buying online totally a bad idea?

Either Speedgoat.com or Webcyclery.com. I've utilized both stores and both gave great service. I used Webcyclery when I built up my Surly. MeanTodd (owner) was very helpful when I was putting the bike together. I was new to bike building and had a few discrepancies in my order that he straigtened out for me. My sled rides like a charm. I believe they are both also bike shops, so you can justify your web purchases by saying you did use an LBS...just not so locally. Go singlespeed!!!!!!

I'd also highly consider looking for a used ride. The classifieds on MTBR usually have a few for sale at any given time if you can't find anything locally. Seems people buy them, ride a couple of times, then sell them. You can get a lot of bang for your buck this way.
