Never buy a bike from Walmart or any other department store. They only come in one size and are junk. A full suspension bike like that is the worse thing that you could get to ride on the road. At his height the only place to find a bike that will fit is a bike shop or a used one on the local ebay or Craig's list. He will need at least a 23 inch frame and a commuter bike like this, not a mountain bike.

It is just to get him to and from work in Chicago so it is all mostly pavement.

And he was on a neighbors mountain bike but he did not like how the seat and handle bars were level with each other , he said it was bad on his back.

What specifications should he look for ? Frame size ? Wheel Size ? Frame type ?
