Because of your height I think it will be hard to find bikes already built in your size range. Also, most shops don't want to build a bike and have it take floor or storage space unless they know someone will purchase it.
I can't speak for CCrew but I took his statement as some LBS stock will be depleted until the 2011 models begin arriving. Also that if you are willing to look in other areas (i.e. larger cities with more shops) you might find something.
As for other models, I can only think of the Kona Dew, Jamis Coda, and I think Specialized Sequoia you might want to check into.
