Skully, the main considerations will be the budget for the bike, and his riding style (or what terrain he might be riding it on).
Maybe also his cycling ability, and if he might want to upgrade parts eventually.
As for a steel Condor, I stongly recommend it; though it would not be as stiff as a better quality aluminium-framed bike. Steel is ceratinly prettier, and more easily repairable, were it to be damaged.
If he's over say 18 or 19 stone, then maybe a light steel frame would not be my recommendation.
