His bike came with a "L" sticker on the frame. They told him it's just a wrong sticker and they measured the frame and found it OK.
Well here's the official geometry:

If he had the M/L frame, the measurements would be like below, right?
He just measured the head tube and found it 18.5 cm. They clearly gave him the wrong size and now lie to him, am I right? Am I measuring correctly in the pic?
It sounds very much like they didn't have a M/L in stock.
On the image the measuring is a bit off for "Horizontal top tube measurement" you should take a level mesureing device from the top of the head tube to the center axis of the seat tube... not to the seat clamp... but it's still obvious that he as a correctly sticker-ed frame that is in fact a large, and he needs to let the shop owner know there is an issue with his sales staff. If it was the shop owner, I think I would do my best to never frequent that shop ever again. (I have a few shops on my black list... and wouldn't go there for tubes)
haha... snap... what the guy above me said.
