Depends on all sorts of things. For example, if you're doing fast downhilling or technical stuff, you'll want a smaller frame for agility and comfort. It also depends on the manufacturer of the frame (e.g., a Kona 17" may not be precisely the same as a GT/Marin/Cannondale 17").
Best thing to do is find a good bike shop (a local one - for god's sake don't go to Halfords
) and ask them. They'll be willing to help and will measure you & your son, and if you're buying two bikes will probably do a deal too.
