Very clean. They did a nice job. Hope your daughter enjoys it!

I like that look (Look?) at lot!

I am torn on sizing between an L and XL.

A shade over 6', normally ride a 57.

L would need a longer stem and either spacers or flipping up stem

XL a bit longer in top tube than I'd normally go for so a slightly shorter stem

I'm guessing either could work, are there any 585 peculiarities that would make one or the other a better bet?

I have a 565 XL and it’s slightly large for me. I’m 5’11” with 32” inseam. I plan to try a 90mm stem to see if that works better.

Looks great! 48 or 49cm?

The color pops on the Tangerine.

The "Tangerine" color is fantastic imo, really rich, and the grey/silver/white details complement the color very well. Beautiful combination.

Just a thread note:

For those that see the trend every time a Look 585 thread ensues.

I'd say if you are one of those nutty multi quiver bike collectors, these are the daily roller worthy ones. Don't ignore an opportunity to snag.

I'd say if you are one of those nutty multi quiver bike collectors you already know this or have one.

Truly worth ownership.

This is the Elle version in extra small.

Sweet, I've been looking for the Team Tibco version in dark blue for about five years...to no avail. Mine is the XS Optimum version, same as the Elle but with a different paint. Which I'm sure you know...anyway your painter did a great job!

[Keith A]

Thanks! He does fantastic work! Good luck in your search, maybe one will turn up some day...or you could always have yours painted to match.

Someday I hope than an XXL pops up at a time when I have the room to add N+1.

I'm 6', and I think 58 is my optimum size. My inseam is 32 inches. I bought a 585 XL and am running a 120 stem. Seems to work fine for me.

Here's some pics of mine: (wheels have been upgraded, but no new pics yet)

I think he's a member here, but not sure of his username.

He has done some work for the user "Bentley".

What bar reach you got going??

I am also 6' and a little more. I used to be 6'-1.25", more like 6'-0.25" now. I have a long inseam for my height more so now that I lost that inch via disc compressions over 20+ years.

My Origin is a XL, The XXL may have worked, but I had ridden an XXL and the stack was too high for me. Now I wonder if that was an Origin or Optimum. Anyway, using a 115 stem and ErgoNova with a touch extra setback than usual. I can ride it all day too. It is as short a TT on a bike as I like to ride pretty much. But bar reach and stems adjust cockpit length accordingly.

I got my 8.5+ saddle to bars drop without extra stem effort I might have on the XXL Origin. XXL Optimum I'd have needed a Flatforce/Syntace or -20 FSA type and question if I could have got there...
