From what I've read, bigger frames may offer more comfort in longer rides? So keep the 585 for shorter hillier rides and use RXRS for longer rides? Need your BF wisdom.

I'm 6', 32 in pants inseam, no spacers other than a tall cone spacer on the 585, 110 mm stem.

Thanks

Yeah, I think you can make the Time frame work. The real issue is that I doubt the Time frame is gonna be more comfortable/compliant than the Look frame over some distance. I think the Time frame is a much more stiffer frame, and for me at least, a very stiff frame like the Time is not one I'll ride over long distances.
