I'm not seeing anything in the proportions that you mentioned, anyway that are outside any so-called "normal curve." Unless they were talking about the middle of the bell curve for males.
You sound pretty much like my size, too. I don't have a heavy tourer (yet) either, but I had zero trouble fitting on any of several WSD road bikes.
I'm sorry you're not getting the bike you wanted, but I'm really happy you decided to find out whether it was going to fit you before ordering one!

Sad news, indeed. But I'm really impressed with the LBS person who wrote you. S/he did a great service to you in taking the time to explain the issues.
I'm sorry your dream bike isn't likely to fit, though.

Try sending Terry bikes an email. Georgena is pretty good about getting back to people. I know she did with me when I was looking for a bike.

Oh no, that is very sad news. Good luck in your bike hunt and if anything comes to my mind I'll be sure to let you know.
