16x1.75" Tires, 140mm crank, 43T(+/-) chainring (also have 36T), & 16T Freewheel

His current bike that he's very comfortable on (although he has to peddle 90mph)
12" tires, 75mm crank, 28T chainwheel, & 18T "freewheel".

Remember, my goal is to keep him comfortable with the bike, so I'd like to get him geared right between these two bikes. He can get use to the longer cranks gradually is what I'm thinking. Currently I want him to be able to sit on the bike and still peddle without nailing himself in the jaw. Again, get comfortable with the new bike then start standing.

Thanks for any help.

ride 28T 10T freewheel, less rotations then a "28T chainwheel, & 18T "freewheel"."
