Im 5 11" and wondering if the 19" p7 would be too big to be fun.

I currently ride a Large Blur LTc & have had a 2009 18" five which fit perfectly.

If anyone would be kind enough to measure the standover on a 19" P7 then that would be great.

Thanks

I'm about 6' and have a 19" P7 and while it's great I think I should have got a size smaller for riding round trail parks with their jumps and things.

About 5'10" and have a 17" which is big enough. 19" just that wee bit big for me.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking I should go for a size smaller considering every large'ish HT I've owned I've ended up selling cos it's not playable/jumpy enough.

Hi - I'm 5' 11" and would recommend the 17" frame - you really need to be able to muscle the bike around to get the most from it and I reckon that's easier in a smaller size. Great bikes - you'll love it!

17" definitely. Orange's own guide on their website is hopelessly off beam.

I'm 5ft 8in (30" inside leg) and ride a 17". It's perfect for me, reckon a 19 would be correct for you. I love mine and like showing it off (the bike, that is)
