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?
27.5 for a couple of years now.
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.
