    I owned a 2013 Orange Five Pro which was a large and if I remember it was 18″, it was ok but I always felt it was a little to small.

    Have the sizes changed as I can see the geometry has changed slightly?

    It may be I need XL this time (6ft 2) or the Large may be larger

    Large is still 18″ so you’ll need a XL. I’m the same size as you and thought the same about my large 5 29 so went XL with the Segment.

    Ok great, are they phasing out 26″ wheel on Orange Fives?

    now theirs a decision.. the last Five I rode was a 26″, and I did everything on it – iv started to mainly do XC but Im always looking for a drop so like the bike to be nimbler. My Whyte has been fun but not as playful as my Five was.

    I was toying with going back to 26″ Five but didn’t realise they had phased them out (iv obviously been asleep)

    I thought the large 26″ fives were 20″ not 18″. At least I think mine is.

    Anyone changed from a 26″ Five to a 650b Five and felt a lot difference?

    20″ was XL. They also did a 22″ XXL for a bit.

    Don’t rule out a Segment as they’re ace. Not a huge difference between the 26″ and 650b 5 but the 650b rolled noticeably better IMO.
