Where are you located?
Someone here may be able to point you towards a decent shop that is helpful as well as knowledgeable. Some shops these days do not give a lot of info to someone who just picks the employee's brain because that person may just be trying to get free info and then go buy on the net. There are however shops that will be very helpful even knowing you may buy on the net because they feel if they help you out you will return to buy accessories, get service done and send other potential buyers there way. If the guy left you with a bad feeling then you should look for another shop if possible. If not then try and deal with another person at that shop.

As far as fit goes, with a mountain bike it varies. It will depend on the type of riding you are planning on doing, the geometry of the bike, do you have long legs/short torso, vice versa, about normal, etc, etc, etc.
