what type of bicycle frame is that in the picture? The rear stays appear to be shorter as well. Appears to be a single chainring in the front also. Seat lowered down considerably as well unless of course the frame is large for him. You hit upon one of my favorite topics with this pic of the day, Cyclocross!
