The fact is that there's almost certainly not a single one in the entire country!
And unlikely anywhere within 500-600 miles from where I live. Closest would probably be somewhere in Germany, I guess...
But I certainly wouldn't go cutting down a frame anyway.
It's a serious design flaw, and nothing less. With such an outstanding design in most other respects, it's unbelievable that they've made such a huge mistake in the design of the HT.
Ouch! with such a strong negative opinion I am suprised that you still ordered one.
I bet you'll find a stem and bar configuration that will suit you just fine.
Another way to insure a more aero position would be to order a smaller frame and use more seatpost.
