Dudes, here're my experiences. I ordered my 55 frame from mike at bicycle station... for a good price! I brought my cranks, drops, rear wheel and seat to him and they built it up. Things are BUSY and hectic at the store so it took awhile to get it, but i did get it the day before the tour de brooklyn (target date) and I rode it in that with no problems... My ratio is NICE, 46 / 16 (i believe) I threw a brake on there and i'm all good to go. risers are in the mail.
