         Sam, if he goes for that many beers, he won't even be able to FIND the tape measure, much less do ANY measuring to see just what size bike might be suitable. ::) :D

If the kid has the beers, then he won't care that he can't reach the ground.

Hell, I'm 51, and still can't reach the ground on my dailer rider!   ;)
