I bought the Salsa Heyday yesterday in size M. I am 5’8.5” and on the cusp of the two sizes.
I test rode the S and M, and chose the M but am now second guessing! I am a road cyclist so wasn’t sure exactly what I should be looking for in terms of feel on a bike like this.
I will be using the bike for gravel/trail riding in the summer and snow biking in the winter. Any advice on how this fits based on the pics? This is the M. The seat is as low as it goes.

Personally, I prefer to feel taller on a smaller bike, than shorter on a bigger bike.
Doesn’t look to big. But definitely cut the post down so you can lower it when you need.
Try to change the cranks for 175
I’m really bad at being able to see “fit” just by looking at a couple pictures, but it looks okay to me. The main question is how does it feel? Go ride for an hour and see how you feel. Do you feel like you stretched out or anything? Are there any sore spots or numbness anywhere? Have you tried adjusting what can be adjusted easily? (seat hight, seat angle, etc.).
