Therefore I must stick to the 21"-22" MTB frame or just hunt for some local offers here in Poland for bigger one.

Is it worth getting Reynolds frames instead of regular CR-MO ones? Is the weight difference/comfort noticeable? And somebody asked here for my weight I think I'm on the lighter side for my height weighing ~81kgs (179 pounds).

I might come up with more questions as my search progresses, thank you again.
Welcome aboard, glad you found us.

You came to the right place, we will help you drill down till you get there and beyond.

Many Reynolds frames will get you there, that being said, I would look for stout Cr-Mo that are plentiful.

Reynolds C+V frame's were not the model for this and may not hold up to it although plenty have, I wouldn't use any that are particularly cool or special/iconic.
