Get him the Wakkiki Sunrise! Just be warned - he may want to sleep with it instead of with you!

If you can guarantee that, I'll order one today.
He probably would not ride either. He has a downhill rig and a street trials rig that he built exactly the way he likes them. He has ridden many bikes and does not see the point of actually riding non-mountain bikes. Other bikes are appreciable only as art.
If I found a Pashley 26Mhz frame, he would explode from happiness, though.
