Big bike for a big person

A friend of mine is a little on the large side. Not fat as such, just very, very big.
He currently rides around on a raleigh somethingorother which, apart from being rubbish, is far to small and appears to be made of butter (when he rides it). Wheels bend, and gears get shredded very easily.
I said I'd look for a replacement, and i'll likely go second hand as the budget is small.

He rides moderately sedate off-road trails, nothing too serious.
He's 6'4" and weighs roughly 20st, with an inside leg of about 33".

Any suggestions on bike or likely frame size?
