I'm 5'7 I purchased a bike sized at 22.5". VERY roughly speeking is this bike to large for me? I've been riding it a while and don't notice anything but figured I would get some opinions.

Probably.

Hmm...Since you're measuring in inches, I'm guessing this is a mountain bike? It does seem on the big side for your height, but if you have long legs and/or you can stand over the bike frame (just in front of the saddle) without contact with the top tube, it's possible that the appropriate stem and handlebar combination could make this work for you. Oh, of course, saddle height...
What's the longest you've ridden on it? Often, fit issues don't become apparent until longer, extended riding.

it's a comuter bike, ride it probably ten miles a day. I figured it was big but honestly I think it'll work till it dies. At which point I have my heart pretty much set on a dawes lightning 1000 or a mobtobecane either one has a sizing chart that would put it a bit closer to my size. Thanks for the info kinda knew it was big but figured I would get some opinions.
