If you don't know much about bikes in general, I'd say buy the Lager from your LBS. That's a decent price (not outstanding) but making sure you get a bike in your size and put together by a shop that will service your ride for you is worth the "small" increase in price over shopping at BD.
I bought a Lager from my LBS a year ago and it's a nice ride, it was my first FG and I wanted something I could buy and just ride and not worry about. Components are decent for the price (formula/alex wheels, fsa cranks, cane creek headset, origin 8 bars, crappo saddle/pedals). Decals are kinda fugly but I don't mind. I paid $299 at my shop about a year ago but they are usually priced lower than other shops in the area and seem to cater more to the FG/SS market.
