I've been thinking about one. Confused about sizing. The salsa page recommends a 56 for me, which feels comfortable riding, but standover hight makes me nervous if I have to bail quickly.
It’s super comfortable. I’ve ridden just over 100 miles now, mostly on gravel or two track dirt. The best way to describe this bike is a mountain bike with a rigid fork and drop bars.
as far as sizing, this is a 2019 model, which was sized as (S, M, L). I’m 5’8” and I have a medium. It feels small because of the relatively upright cockpit, but the standover height leaves no room for error.
