I used to love freaking out riders behind my 21" Bontrager as the 500mm ti post swayed +/- 2 inches under my 18 stone arse! God that bike is well made!
Which manufacturers made the biggest frames?

I've got a Bontrager XXXL race; but then I am 6'7" tall and weigh 255lbs!
25" top tube and, if I remember correctly, a 23.5" seat tube.
I stand to be corrected but I believe only 8 were ever made and mine appeared in MBUK in an article about the extremes of Bonty sizing.
I'll see if I can do some piccies.

I don't know much about handling I'll be honest, but the fact that if we have a large (gate-proportioned!) frame we will have small wheels in proportion to the frame size - won't that affect handling more than having large wheels?
Doesn't a correctly proportioned bike handle similarly whatever it's size so a small person on a BMX with small wheels will largely have similar handling to a medium person on medium MTB with 26" wheels and by extrapolation a big person on a big frame with 29" wheels (taking into account the person on board is proportionately stronger to overcome extra inertia)? Or am I talking out me *rse?!

But that sounds fair to me!
