Technically I think this frame is a bit “too large for me”, however I cannot seem to find a more comfortable bike when riding all day. This is regardless of what saddle, stem or grips I have on it at the time.
Nobody has the same body and bike sizing is pretty general. If it fits and it’s comfy, then keep riding :). I’m technically supposed to be a 54cm for road bikes, but I find 52cm way more comfortable.

Looks comfy enough and still have a few centimeters of adjustability on seat post. Keep in mind these were designed to rip single track back in the day so you would want a smaller frame for better maneuverability. But for everyday riding I find larger bike is more stable

The one I’m building up now is technically too big for my by a couple inches. I think this would create more of an issue if I were actually mountain biking with it and not just dicking around my hood and running for coffee.

When it comes to xbiking size means absolutely Nathan imo. If your legs can reach the bottom of the crank rotation the bike fits

What is the size of the chainring ?

That’s the key to fit: comfort. And power I guess?
The seat post isn’t slammed. Seems fine.

If it’s comfortable, by definition it’s not too big.
If you’re following the Trek sizing chart from back in the day, remember that they thought you were going to ride trails on it.
My gravel bike is a 59cm. My old commuter was a 65 and the weird ex-rental bike I used to haul my kid around when she was small was a 61. All of them fit me just fine.

Looks like it fits perfectly
