size frame for a 6'3" 170lb. guy?(friend)
ok heres the scenario...
my roomate is looking for a bike to ride to work because his vehicle does not work. he is currently riding a crappy wally world bike that i threw together for him out of two different bikes. its got three speeds and a twenty six inch front tire and twenty four rear
its fallen apart on him a couple times now so he asked me to do something for him...find him a bike that he can commute to work on for around 250-300(i know
) so i was looking at some hybrids and some 29ers and found a couple i liked for him so now i need to know what size frame? i was thinking 58?? he's 6'3" and around 170 lbs.
It looks like he would fit good on my Gary Fischer GED but i need to have him stand over it so i'm not too sure.

I'm no lightweight myself and my Hardrock has held up for me.

I'm 6'1 and 190#, I don't feel like I have a particularly hard time riding pretty much anything that's not WAY too small. At 170 pounds I seriously doubt you'll need to seek out an especially durable frame. I ride a 21" frame, and my friend that is 6'3 and 240# rides a 20" diamondback sorento with no problems at all.
