Congratulations on what sounds like a great purchase! You're encouraging him to do something fun and healthy. I test rode the cross check and in just a couple of minutes was able to reach down and shift. It took some practice though. Maybe you could rotate the handlebars so the hoods/brakes are up a little higher. Know what I mean? That might make him a bit more comfortable.
Glad it all worked out!

I adjusted the handlebars before we actually purchased it to make it more comfortable for him... it was set up more aggressively for cross racing. He'll get used to it... but he hasn't been on a bike in 12 years or so
