seems to be the same height  18 3/4'' ? .....spec of the Hoffman George from the 1997 catalogue http://bmxmuseum.com/reference/1911      old jr sale thread says 19'' http://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/119937

sorry, bit of the elusive kind i suppose.... :-\

here's the Hoffman thread .....they should know. looksky pic http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=3977980#p3977980

yeah, comparing the specs might give some clues. But the bmxmuseum sheet is 1997 and the bikepedia is 1999. And don't know if bikepedia's comprehensive - says built only 1999, but seems there's a 1998 on museum (http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/hoffman/27516), so may be best to ask the dudes in the Hoffman thread themselves about the difference between jr and George
