Either make BD earn their $$$ by letting them figure out your size, or find a good LBS, find a good bike in your budget range, and enjoy the ride.
Eh, I didn't mean it in that way. I meant it as figuring out your own size and doing it yourself... it takes about 10 seconds to measure your inseam and another 10 for your TT length. Or, get a professional fitting at a LBS and then get the bike on your own. Ripping off a LBS is a low thing to do, I luff my LBS.

I'll go there next week, and take my camera.
How is that even close to semi-local?
