I'm a bit in-between sizes with Orange Fives. Considering getting one second hand, just wondering what size people 6ft 2" or thereabouts went for?
The current 19" ones would be ideal but the older ones are 18 or 20. Thanks.
My dad rides a 20 five and alpine and is 6-2, i'm 6ft and ride a 19 gyro and 18 alpine.
I'm 6 foot and have an 18" old sizing frame. Any taller and I'd want to go a size up
I like small bikes, I'm 5"10" on a 17 with a 50mm stem, on longer rides with lots of climbing wouldn't want it any shorter, as the 18 has the same TT length (apparently) as the 18 I'd say might be a little on the short side, unless you like to run a longer stem!?
I'm 6ft 2" and have a 18" five feels perfect for me
Do you have an Office Depot nearby to help on sizing?
18" Patriot + 6'2 = Bang tidy for me.
Cheers, I'm thinking a 20" with a 50mm stem (or thereabouts) might work best.
Put another way, if my Cove Handjob was a full susser it couldn't feel too long, trying to find a geometry chart online for Coves older bikes isn't proving easy, would like to do a rough comparison.
6 foot on a 20" Five. I used to own an 18" Five and feel much more comfortable (balanced) on the 20" version. Different strokes and all that.
6'2" on a 20" five and I find it perfect for me
6'2" and have a 20" 2009 Five with a 50mm stem.
But would think you need to consider leg length and reach rather than overall height.
I'm 6 2 I had a 2004 and now the 2012 both 20" versions. Ive got relatively long legs so that may affect things too.
I am 6'01" and ride a 18" 2013 Five AM. Could have gone up to the 20" but like the slightly more compact size and ride similar sizes on all my other bikes.
6 2" on one of the first ones -20".
I am also elderly and creaky if that helps.
6'2" here and rode a 20" with a 50mm stem, about to advertise a really clean chrome grey 20" for sale 😳
6 2 and had a 20" frame
I'm 6' and ride an 18" 5. Would definitely go bigger if I was any taller.
I'm glad they started making the 19" size. If they had made one a few years ago I'd have one now...
Mate is 6ft 2 and rides a 20"
6ft2 on a 20" five with a 50mm stem, frame and forks may be for sale soon as I am looking for something new 😀
6ft 3 here and I ride a 20" had a test on both the 18 and 20 before I bought mine. The 20 is perfect for me. I felt the 18 to be far too small. Felt like a bmx on me.
