Where were you asking. If in cambridge, normally Ben Haywoods is a good shop, the others are rather crap. Dawes are hard to get hold of, I had to wait for about 8 weeks for the one I ordered in a given size to actually arrive at my bike shop.
I also had to buy untried, and go from south london to Forest Row in Sussex, as they were about the only place I could find who could order it in for me.
As it turned out, because I got the smallest frame and have longer legs than trunk (and am a girl!) my Dawes Audax is a bit long along the top tube for me, so I had to spend quite a bit on changing bars and stem to get it to fit better.
Try uk.rec.cycles to see if there are recommendations of other places in the area that may stock, or you may find someone there who has a 55cm SG who will let you try it for size.
