There are still custom-build options out there. However, if you're locked in to that bike from that source, it may be that your only option is to replace those parts yourself (or with the help of your LBS) after you buy the bike. This is also a reason why buying a new bike from a LBS can be a better choice. They will help you with putting the right parts on the bike to fit your specific fit needs.
