This is a 26" MTB frame with a nice long seat post and handlebars off some kid's discarded BMX bike. This is a much cheaper solution to getting a comfortable upright position than buying a stem riser for a stock bicycle...plus you get all that extra bar space to mount your gadgets on. Since it's a bike you're probably not going to spend a whole lot of time pedaling, I wouldn't worry too much about the perfect fit, as long as you're comfortable and the engine fits the frame.

Personally I'd love to have a set of 190mm cranks for my unpowered bike, but at this point I don't have $400-$500 to waste on them.
 
If you don't find anything local try e-bay. I've noticed a lot of x-large older complete bikes go cheap as there are not that many folks who can use them. A good lugged steel frame should offer some of the benefits of a suspension frame without the complexity as long as you are road riding.
 
Yeah, I'm just riding a schwinn 20" frame, with 700c's. Sure, 22" + frame would be nice, but really you've got to remember 3hp can only do so much with 6' 6" 260................PS- Many mods do help!~
