Any help gratefully appreciated!

all 26'ers over 19" look stupid - that' why you never seen them on manufacturers websites.

if you're concerned about the way it looks, get a 29er.

Orange are introducing a 29er Five at some point, maybe worth asking them when it'll be out?

Why does everyone think that if you are tall you should choose a bike that doesn't fit...

Any way the Orange Five 29er should be great for anyone who would fit a 22 inch bike. I'm 6"4 and I also found my 20 inch Five too short, it had a 120mm stem! Moved to XL 29ers.

I agree, a 29er would suit you perfectly. Really tall people on 26" bikes make them look like they're only 24". Meanwhile, really tall people on 29ers look like normal sized people on 26" bikes.

Cheers for the helpful comments!!

I'm 6'4" and am pretty used to riding a gate just like to see stuff before i buy if possible!

Not really interested in a 29er as I don't think it would suit the sort of riding I do as well as 26" wheels.

CHeers for the help!
