@kirk you can get a shorter reach, riser stem, and riser bars. For good or bad, both stems and bars are available in a bewildering variety. A shorter stem that's flat will even help. Bars can have various rises (how much higher the part you hold is than the center) and sweep (how much they diverge from straight.)
Don't worry a lot about crank length right now. Adjust the seat height so the rider's leg, with the foot in a comfy position on the pedal, has the leg straight at bottom center.

@kirk
I have a similar bike, and have the bars level with the seat. But that is unusually low for a workday commuter. It wouldn't be unusual to prefer bars to be 5cm higher than the seat at first.

They could start with an adjustable stem, to play around with location. If there is a bike club, or university bike repair workshop, someone may have a box of stems to test with.

Be sure the seatpost isn't frozen and no rust on the fork stanchions.

@kirk maybe @ai6yr can help.

I think so. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

@kirk try the manufacturer's website. Some will offer a sizing chart for body size to suggested frame size. Some even archive these charts for earlier year models.
