new LHT vs used BJ

I'm kind of caught in the middle of ordering a new LHT complete or buying a used (1995-2000) Bob Jackson
bike for considerably less money but sight unseen.

How did you know that ?
The fit actually ended up being the main sticking point.
The BJ I was considering probably would have been a tad small.

That's what almost always happens. Go Surly, or keep shopping.
