What is the frame called that fits 700c wheels? I have a set of 700c wheels and am looking to buy a used frame.

I want a frame that fits the 700c tires so I don't have to file down the front dropouts or use long reach brakes.

What are the frames called that fit 700c tires?
There's no 'official' standard, as mentioned in the comments. However, in a crude sense, I'd call them 'road frames.'


BMX Frame - Accepts 20" Wheels
Cruiser Frame - Accepts 24" Wheels
Mountain Bike / MTB Frame - Generally accepts 26" mountain bike wheels, unless specified otherwise
'29er' Frame - 29" Mountain bike wheels
Road Frame - Generally accepts 700c wheels


I'm sure there's exceptions to every one of these.
