James, you should point your brother in law to Black Mountain Cycles. Mike Varley's Monster Cross comes in a 62 and a 65cm, with a sloping top tube, but not a 6 degree slope. It's $600 for the frame and fork, and was designed for 700x45mm tires. Maybe it's still too small for him.... http://www.blackmtncycles.com/p/black-mountain-cycles-frames.html On Friday, February 22, 2013 9:11:32 PM UTC-8, James Warren wrote: > > > I know my bro-in-law would buy such a bike if the available size was as large > as 64 cm with 6 degree top tube.
