Colleague at work wants to buy a bike under the CWS from Evans.

He wanted to buy the Calibre Bossnut but our company no longer will support the CWS from anywhere else.

He's asked for my opinion on the Trek Roscoe and Cannondale Beast of the East. Have no realy idea on those two but I doubt even an XL in those models will fit him correctly. I was going to point him more in the direction of the Honzo and ask him to up his budget.

Any suggestions?

The Boardman pro 29ers are quite long. A 6'3 friend put a shorter stem on as he was stretched. Although  saddle wise he has it set high and 6'8 is a lot taller. Maybe worth a look though.
