The owner from Trophy was a nice to me as well. He only stopped in for a bit while I was talking to the sales clerk still deciding what to do. He pretty much confirmed that the LHT was the best deal in the place. I would probably trust the owner about repairing it.

I think since you are so tall it is unlikely that either bike will sell before you get a chance to look at them. Keep looking though. As the weather changes you should be able to pick up something. Keep us posted or ask questions and we'll answer them the best we can.
