A few positive suggestions in the $300-400 price range.

Go to a local bike shop to find the right frame size ... hope this helps!

I'm kind of surprised that you are OK'ing a dept store bike purchase. You seem like a pretty knowledgeable poster. Oh well, I guess agree to disagree... If he got it for free thats cool but if he's dropping coin on a purchase there is alot better bikes out there to spend money on.

Plus it would give the rest of us a place to lurk, when we need a good laugh.
Good idea.
