I'll start by saying if that person is your friend, don't let them ride that bike with all those spacers again. Even if it has an aluminum steerer tube that's too many spacers and too much leverage. I know this is the internet and I'm just a guy on it.......and I know you're going to get 50 people to post they currently have twice the amount of spacers on their bike that they've ridden around the world. But, that ^^^^ is begging for trouble.
There are thousands of virtually new bikes on CL that would fit better for pennies on the dollar.
