Congrats on the new bike!
Similar story. A shop here in Maryland didn't have the Cannondale I wanted in my size. They had the bike at their Virginia location in my size built up and ready to go. I ended up with a Marin that I caught my eye when I went to get the Cannondale.
Maybe you should have considered Cannondale or Marin. Haha, just kidding. Enjoy the ride! Post pics of your new horse.
