I've had my eye on this bike because it looks great and checks a lot of boxes based off what I've read so when I saw a shop in Texas had an XS stocked I decided to jump on it.
My question is, I am 5'1" and am a little paranoid that even the XS might be a little tall despite the shop owner confirming that my height was in the range specified for that frame size. I don't have my inseam handy but I am pretty proportionate shorty. Bike ships next wednesday. Do yall think I'm gonna be disappointed? And what can I do if the standover height is a little too spicy for me? Smaller wheels? Orthopedics?
Standover for XS- 777mm (30.6")

Nobody here knows if you will fit it or be disappointed. The standover is shown above- if that doesn't work for you then perhaps it isnt the right bike.
The XS certainly has a tall stack and long reach for what I would call an XS bike, but I ride the opposite end of the spectrum so what do I know. Just compare your current bike(s) stack and reach to see if it is close enough.
