Because there is more to a bike and how it rides than how high the seat is and how high the h'bars are. That's not even getting into looks or construction. If all that mattered was function we'd all be on Surlys. If his question is "Why is your bike better than mine?", I think a few looks and a short ride would make it obvious. If his question is "why should I buy one of those?", I think the answer is that he shouldn't. We all buy things and with everything there is a wide range of quality, brands, and durability but the function is the same. A $2 thrift store shirt has the exact same function as a $75 new one and 90% of the looks to boot. But I think most people would agree there is an obvious difference. If all he needs is a CL special, then that is th perfect bike for him-- much like the $2 shirt would be perfect if I needed something to paint the house in.
