To me life is too short to waste time riding a poorly fitting bike. If I had to wait for my halo frame, I'd probably get a "transitional bike," something like an Allez or Emonda ALR, just to be riding something that fit properly.
The last time I was in the Whitefish, Montana, area, I rented an alloy BMC. The shop gladly set it up just right for me, flipped and slammed the stem, and after a couple of days riding it, I had to say I wouldn't mind if this was the last bike I ever owned. Because it fit properly.
