If he can handle the wait, get a custom frame painted any way you want. It was no extra charge when I got mine three and a hlf years ago. I don't really fit "off the rack" frames, so I had to get it made up. But get to pick (or have a say at least) in all the angles and type of fork it came with. Other than that bargain hard.
