The R1 is essentially the same frame geometry with a different sticker and set up as a road bike with drop bars. Built with tri bars it is the same as the TT.

I don't have enough posts to reply to or send a PM so I am just posting it here.

My frame is not perfect, but definitely usable. The previous owner had put a hole in the frame near the front derailleur and filled the area around to bottom bracket with spray foam to dampen noise. I guess it poinged pretty loud when shifting the front. He also negleted to tell me that the urethane sleeve on the beam was starting to de-laminate. I have re-urethaned it with the correct durometer rubber following instructions off youtube. Should be better than the original setup. Has a new carbon fork with uncut aluminum steerer and Chris King headset. There is also a newish ddvado saddle and and Easton ea70 stem. Quite the cushy ride and will help smooth out your pedal stroke. I would let mine go for $300+shipping. You can email me at soewe812 at hotmail and I can send some pictures.
