OP Update:

I just came back from the shop, I got my components and a refund check. That's the good news.

The bad news is that I am back at square one with getting a new bike. The next closest builder to me that does Titanium is Kellogg/Spectrum...but the cost is $1500 MORE than the Havnoonian quote...and even Kellogg outsources his Ti framebuilding to Merlin.

Any suggestions? I am on a budget, and would love to save money by getting a stock frame but my measurements are wacko...I need a ST of about 63-64cm with a TT of about 56-57cm, and that can't be done easily with stock sizing (the closest I have seen is a LOOK 585 Optimum, XXL).
