Hey btchance!
I was wondering what time frame you have to decide. Do you have time to read Andy Pruitt's Complete Medical Guide for Cyclists? He has a whole section on bike fit. The Table of Contents and other excerpts are on Amazon, along with a lot of rave reviews.
I haven't read the book, but everyone I've heard from thinks it's an awesome reference! I think SadieKate has raved about it on these forums.
As far as longer femurs go, in my hazy memory banks it seems like I heard that Lemond bikes have a geometry that favors longer femurs. I could be wrong, or it could have changed since then, but it might be worth checking out.
Have fun shopping! Can't wait to see what you end up getting!!
