thanks again for all your opinions, the overwhelming consensus seems to indicate that the bike is not suitable for his needs although some minor modifications would make it more suitable.
again, his commute will be short and its use will be for basic recreation.
he lives in Auckland and having lived there many years I can confirm the bike shops are crap, many frames and components in stores are not even known, as example, a staff member in a leading store didnt know what a aerospoke was... frightening...when I told him to go ask about a brooklyn frame, they had never heard of it and asked what it was?.... WTF?? this is a leading store in Auckland....
anyway... have passed all yr opinions on and he can make a decsion from there, yr experiances and expertise is appreciated x
