I think we must be built pretty similarly. I'm kind of between framze sizes, but I tend to size down for a 29er and up for 26.
I'm loving the suspense...bike shopping vicariously! (and haha, I typed "suspension" and stared at it for a moment before I realized that wasn't the word I was looking for!)
Have fun with those demos!

The Salsa dealer called me and said they could have a Mamasita frame for me in July (not October as they previously said). And that they would do a build on it the same as the El Mariachi which would bring the price of the bike nicely into my budget.
How did this get so stressful?!
I am determined to make a decision this weekend. I think I will feel much better once I sign the dotted line so to speak.

Salsa Mamasita it is. It will have the same build as the El Mariachi components to bring the bike down into my price range, but will x.9 shifters instead of x.7.
Fingers crossed the frame comes in July. Please! Please! Please!
I was hoping to feel better after I made the decision. But I'm actually feeling still stressed about it
I'm going into the bike shop on Monday and we'll hammer out the details.
Here's what the frame looks like:
