And then tell them you'll buy it online after all...

Honka Hootas, Chuck. Get 'em in if you don't have 'em yet. Can't keep 'em in stock and make for amusing little things to mount on your workstands.

How about this.... go here, https://www.wrenchscience.com and go to the fit section of the site. Put in all the measurements it asks for and it will spit out some frame measurements etc. that you can then bring to your lbs. Going in with a little more knowledge about what you want and are looking for only helps your cause. Good luck.
