My local LBS just got some in, but w/local events these next couple of weeks, are behind on getting them together. But they're putting one together for me to test ride a 1.0. later this week. We'll see. I think they'll be popular in my area(the pilots) that is. They've ordered a fair amt of them.

Woah - talk about an axe to grind - sheesh!
Sounds like this LBS owner is more or less dead set against any and all WSD bikes, not to mention the Pilot ones too. Which is, as has been pointed out, an enormous generalization. Also let's mention the obvious, Mr. LBS owner can ride his man bikes all day and doesn't need (or want) a WSD setup like we might. In addition, so fine, the pilot or WSD bikes fit some people poorly - hello? what bike doesn't!
Thankfully the LBS I do business with has plenty of WSD bikes in all sorts of sizes. I've had my '07 Trek 1600 for 6 weeks now, and it is a 57 too, so they keep a good stock. I used to have a man bike, an 06 trek 1500 but my present bike feels light years better. So the idea that WSD bikes are only for petite gals is also a stereotype - i'm 5'10".
You'll be happier doing your bike shopping elsewhere methinks
