Thanks Dx-Man and idotekniQues for the additonal suggestions and feedback on this.
Unfortunately, I won't have to worry about this for now. The bike I expected to get won't be with me after all. The LBS I ordered the bike from goofed big time and got the wrong bike and wrong frame size.
To make matters worse they wanted me to accept the order, as is, at full price. No way!!! I got my money back and now think it's divine intervention.
Of course I'll probably forget all this omen stuff and start looking again in 3-6 months.
