Pants inseam isn't the same as actual inseam used as reference in bike fitting. Nor is inseam a great measurement for bike fit to begin with. If you want to surprise him, blindfold him on the drive over to Performance, yell "surprise," and have him pick one that fits. Or make sure he can swap for a different size if you pick the wrong one.
