I have an opportunity to purchase a like-new LOOK 585 Optimum in an XS size. However, the top tube at 50.8 is just a bit longer
than I like. Generally a 50 or 50.5 TT works far better for me and I don't have to run a stubby 90 or 75mm stem. However, the head tube on this bike at 121 is a tad taller than my 110 headtube and I'm wondering/hoping that my offset the longer TT. The other thing that may make a difference between my current bike and this LOOK is the reach from saddle to bars but this depends on angles and I don't have them for my current bike, so impossible to compare.
So, any experience with the 585 Optimum or opinions or advice is appreciated. By the way, I'm a guy...just on the short side.
Thanks.
