In the interest of LBS not me

Thanks for all the input.
I did visit another bike shop this weekend (out of town) and decided to order/wait for the 2009 Rockhopper Disc (men's top tube is a better fit for me) in a 13 in. frame.
I completely love this shop. The guy who helped me really knew his stuff. I can't tell you how much of a relief it was to talk to him. I do feel confident about my choice.
The 2009 Rockhoppers come with SRAM instead of Shimano. I was able to ride a 2009 Myka with a lower end SRAM. There was a difference.
I'm very excited, I should have it in about 3 wks. I chose the obnoxious yellow.

AWESOME!!
