Look 585 XL pics?
Hey there,
I'm just wondering if anyone has a picture of a look 585 in size XL. Just wondering if it's gonna look goofy or not.

To me it's a little goofy, but not too bad in real life. Their tubes are a little less stout than a lot of the other carbon offerings, so the head tube looks a bit long in comparison. For your reference, here's a photo of a 595 XL that's on my computer for some reason (apologies if it's a BF member's bike).
For what it's worth, the XL 585 I test rode was quite nice.

thanks Dick Rhee,
It must have been a picture of the XXL frame that I saw before, it truly did look goofy.
the 595 above looks fine to me.

I dont think even an XXL would look all that goofy.
I am coveting a 585 optimum in XXL, but insufficient funds....if anyone has an extra one they don't want, please let me know!

there's an XXL I believe, the rear triangle just looks odd to me. The angle the seat stays come down at is pretty steep. Just thought for a bit that this one was an XL.
You have a look don't you surferbruce?

Sorry to bring back this old thread but i'm looking at buying a 585 Ultra in a XL from an online store and would like to see some XL pics? I don't like how the top tube slopes down on some pics i'v seen. They might be the XXL frames but i don't want to spend a couple grand on a frameset with the top tube sloping down. The geo seems to be close to my caad9 so i can't figure it out. Why is this? thanks

Read the geometry chart. The slope on the XL is zero.
I've got two 585 frames, a special edition red/black '06 model and an '07 Ultra bought cheap on closeout. Both are great. Mine are 51cm (S) with the largest 6cm slope. I prefer the slope after owning an older KG381.

So does that mean the top tube will be parallel to the ground? and the XXL slopes down from the head tube?
