I’ll second getting the fit numbers and also use a fit machine. Not only will you have a good idea of the math/fit and how that feels, it gives you more info to help look online if that makes for a big price or availability difference. You can also use the info for a custom frame later. I like my lbs and support them when I can but there were times when I needed to really look at cost and availability. When I got my custom frame (going through my lbs) I searched the net for my campy group and came up with some good prices. That was a couple of years ago. Good luck in your search!
Don’t some custom builders have pre-built/sized frames that are a little cheaper. You and bf can build it up![]()
