is B&L the shop where Bubba bought his seven?

if I go with the Bianchi, I'm also considering:

missing link (good reputation)
left coast (woman owned, heard great things)
american cyclery (apparently they specialize in touring)


if I go with the trek, then:

calpedaler (my lbs)
bicycle outfitter (snap's rec.)

anyone have opinions on the above shops?????

I want to make sure I get an excellent fit!
