Freakin' huge...(looks like the old 27"/68.5cm Schwinn frames)

I can usually tell on vintage bikes, newer ones are harder to gauge. It is easy with things like the old Raleigh Tourists and Sports because they typically only came in 2 or at best 3 sizes. I ride 64cm-65cm frames and those are pretty obvious.
