It's worth bearing in mind that road bikes designed for racing will have geometry more suited to the slimmer belly. The larger gentleman may find it uncomfortable to be leaning over so much. To mitigate this, perhaps a (gasp!) adjustable stem might be an idea on whatever bike you end up getting, at least to begin with.
