She came today!!!!!!!
Just finished putting her together, haven't installed pedals yet or removed the spoke protector (I'm going to leave it on until I'm sure I can get a good fit; my fitting isn't until next Thursday. Oh the suspense!).
Here's a sneak peak:

I actually ordered an xs frame, but swapped out for longer, standard cranks instead of the 165mm compact that came stock. The brake levers are Shimano R700, and the reach is noticeably shorter -- I think I'm going to like it...

So pretty!
I have the Shimano R700 levers, too. My stubby fingers love them.
