So is that a bit on the small side for my mate? 58cm is about 22.5” I think.
I’m 5’8” so this is way outside my own frame of reference :-)

I believe there isn't anything larger than that... I ride 18-19" so no references either. But a friend of mine used to ride 21,5" (largest size Scott had back in 1991) and he was 6ft3".

^ what @WimVDD is saying here. That.
I'm 6' 3" and ride a 58cm top tube Marin with a 130mm stem/riser, plus humungous seatpost and it always feels like I'm a couple of cms shy of just right - shoulda got a setback seatpost, d'oh.
(obviously, if you build your mate the same frame with drops, everything changes).

I am 6' 5" and ride an old Muddy Fox with a 24" seat tube, would have to measure the top tube.

Could work but will need a long (140-150 mm) stem, I guess.
