what's the largest frame size bicycles today? i have an old 27" huffy that i bought in 1982, & i was told by someone that the largest frame size today is a 26"

odds are your 27" Huffy means you have 27" wheels but the frame size
26" is about the largest U.S. bikes but some makers do have larger, have heard of a 105mm, I think is what the guy said dont remember the maker
26" = 66mm
Frame size = center bottombracket to top of seatpost

105mm...D'oh?? AFWIW, frames are measured center to center of toptube,center to top of toptube,and also to top of extended seattube. No one measures to top of seatpost.

I don't know what out there now but they did in fact use to make 27" frames back in the "dark ages" [i.e. 70's-80's]. I use to race a 27" stock frame but I kept ripping the seat tubes out of the bottom bracket when sprinting so I went the custom route to avoid death......
