unfortunatey, from how it looks, it is the same situation as my Raleigh conversion. The inner ring is bolted to the outer ring, so unless he gets new cranks, you're stuck with the big ring.
edit: unless, of course, you want to get into some creative work with a mini-grinder... which I am thinking of...
