62cm

[Smurfy]

Years ago the largest frame size available was 25 1/4 inches, which is larger than 62cm. Auctions of this size of vintage/retro frame on Ebay are often sluggish as they are too large for most people.

Edit: 25 1/4 inches is actually 64.135cm, and most frames of that era will have horizontal dropouts. Win-win!

Why not get a Pista frame and build it yourself?

I have a nice eighties Scwinn which is 25", nigh on 63cm and could be easily turned onto a fixie. Only problem is I am down here in West Africa! I do see these big sizes occasionally on the bay so just a matter of keeping a lookout.

Ooh now they have big sizes of that. But I doubt I could go very quick on one!!

The tread title doesn't read "Fast 62cm" though does it?

That said I'm not sure they are that slow per se; doesn't that largely depend on the engine?
