all, in order as you wrote them.
BH feels tall, cannondale=crack'n'fail, flatline has a low bb which is a rock magnet.

I really shouldn't have to spell this out...

Limited travel though... he'd probably do better with a Bighit or Demo. I mean SX trails are nice, but if he wants to ride DH and Big Mountain Freerider, he's going to want more squish.

could go with just a plain ol' SX, not the trail version.
if hes flowy enough he could make it work.
I agree a demo 7 would be nice though... with a dhx 5.0 and a 66rc *drools a bit*

I have heard many stories about them cracking along the head tube...
In this area you can say crack'n'fail and everyone will instantly know what you are talking about.
