Has any got a 17 inch five? Got any pics and what size u are. iam 5.7 and had a 16 a while back but was thinkin a 17 may b better. Cant find 1 2 try so afta peoples thoughts

In same position I’m 5ft 8 and can’t decide to get a 16 or 17″ orange five. What didn’t you like about your 16″?

I have one and I’m 5’11”. I had a 16″ before which was just a bit small for long rides and the 18″ felt too long but the 17″ is spot on. Where are you based? – I think The Hub at Glentress have a demo 17″

I liked it but u did have 2 have seatpost quite high 4 good pedaling position. Just found a santa cruz heckler or a blur a better fit. Which I think a 17 would b same. If u do really tech desents I would say a 16. But maybe a 17 would b a better allrounder

Based in bristol mate

I used to have lots of seat post showing on my 16″ too. I know someone else who was inbetween sizes with a 16/18 Five and found the Santa Cruzes a better fit. He’s now got a 17″ Five and finds it perfect.

Nice bike. Not sure which is best it looks quite big compared 2 a 16. Maybe at 5.7 should stick 2 a 16. How tall was the person u said got a 17 now?

Other bloke is maybe a couple of inches shorter than me – 5’9ish.

I tried lots of combinations of Five frames – 16/18 , forks 32/36 and stems 50/70mm – all made a difference. I dont think you’ll go wrong with either a 16″ or 17″.

18″ and 17″ have the same top tube length, at 5’7 a 16″ would be right me thinks

I’ve got a 17″ Five Pro. 5’7″ with a 29 – 30″ inside leg and it’s a perfect fit. Nearly changed my order to a 16″ at the last minute after reading lots of posts on here about 6′ something’s riding 16″ Fives. So glad I didn’t. Fit a reverb too and you’ll really get the most out of it.
