  • What size of Orange P7?

    I’m 5 ft 10, with a 31 inch inside leg, therefore thinking the 17 inch frame is the one for me. Would I be right?

    I would say you are right. Wouldn’t go bigger if that’s what you mean. I’m 6’2″ and the 19″ was right for me.

    Good question! I plan on buying one later this year,tried my mate’s last week.Size 17 seemed a little bit small.Although,I did feel confident and comfortable. I’m 5.10 with 32 inch inside leg.

    I don’t know about the new ones, but I used to find Oranges measure short.

    A 17 inch Orange p7 is about a 16 Kona, Specialised, and 15.5 Marin (well,they were when I was trying out bikes years ago).

    I am 5’6ish with a roughly 30 inch inside leg. I’d not want bigger than 17, but it gives me plenty of stand over height. As an odd shape I also ride a 50cm Bianchi racer, where as convention would put me on a 52 or 54 cm ride.

    I think p7’s are reasonably long in the top tube, compared to others, so thats something to bear in mind.

    Best thing is to try a couple in all honesty.

    I did try one at the Laggan demo day recently. Trouble is I can’t remember what size it was I tried!!

    Anyone around the Edinburgh area got one that I could have a sit on?

    I’m 5’8″ and my 17 was too big so at 5’10” i’d say it would be perfect for you. Ace bike by the way, wish I still had it.

    I’m about the same size as Twang, and my 17″ is getting a 70mm stem when I can be arsed as it is a touch long. Sounds like it would be spot on for you.
