Hi all, I have a friend who cycles a bit and would like a single speed bike for commuting and general riding in London.
I would be appreciative of advice as what he should be looking for as he is physically big - 6 foot 7 and a healthy 20 stone.
I assume steel frame is a good idea? Which brands do frames that large (61 or 63 at a guess)?
Also should he go for bike shop or classified as he potentially may squash it and need to take it back ;)
