phew! i just had a very happy lbs experience. This was my 2nd time at this particular shop but first time doing more than browsing. This is not a chain but a local guy who's been there a while, etc. Turns out he is (in addition to being knowledgeable) super friendly... something that I have not always found at LBSs around here. (if you live in madison, you know who I'm talking about!) anyway, he seemed to think that this bike would fit me and even had a guess at which stem to start with (acknowledging that i will probably need to play around with length and angle). once he gets my headset, fork, bottom bracket and crank in, my DH can start to install the easy stuff... and maybe I will have a whole bike this weekend!
