Holy wow, that is a big frame. I opened the thread looking for someone saying they'd found a good deal on a 65 of 66 cm bike and started doing math in my head about how I could fit one (I prefer 62-64) and what my budget was (and how I could slip one more in past my wife) and then I started scrolling down and kept scrolling down and kept scrolling down and the bike just kept going. Wow. Yeah, that's big.

I have a largest-size steel road Ritchey Break-Away, which is not really my size but I can make work with the appropriate seat post and stem. I haven't had it up to sufficient speed where a speed wobble might kick in. Since the frame is small for me and since it has a sloping top tube, I'm not sure I could clamp my knees on it. Maybe my upper shins . . . .

So this is the "smaller" 63cm - no info if C-T or CC, not that it matters but as big as it looks, it will look normal after a glance on the third pic.
And this big boy is 68 cms,
I have no clue if Krautscheid also made it to some basketball player, but told my friend these must have been the childrens bikes of the Yeti and Chewbacca for after school playing.
