Which full suss for singlespeed?

Another vote for a Trek Y here.

I have one setup weight weenie (~22 lbs) and one set up for trails with a 5" travel Z1 and beefier tires. Both are fun and comfortable to ride and both have lockout rear shocks, which makes road work easier.
 
I built up an Orange Sub3 using a Campag Velocci rear mech as a chain tensioner, oh the bling. When finished it weighed less than my steel hardtail SS. The only downside for me was that I had to fit the remote fork lockout (another cable). It rode great BTW.
Looking forward to learn what you decide.

For a full suspension single-speed bike, consider models with a concentric or "single-pivot" style rear suspension design for efficiency, such as the Starling Beady Little Eye or the Lenz Milk Money.
