shame on you...
I suggested the Kilo WT and Surly SteamRoller just like everyone else has. Either way hes going to have to get sized at a bike shop and find out what size bike he rides, it's not really to hard to come home and compare top tube and seat tube lengths with the help of us to find a bike that will fit like the one he tryed in the stores.
