tjwall78,
The seat stays on the 58 RSL are 12.7mm vs 15.875mm on the CR. The stays on the RSL are also seamless 6/4 ti vs. 3/2.5 seamless on the CR.
The weld seam that you see on the seat tube is the thicker pressed-in ti seat tube insert. We machine this to be thicker than the seat tube wall in order to strenghten the top tube/seat tube/seat stay & seat post junction. It also helps dissipate heat during the weld process, so we don't warp the very thin seat tube. We press the insert into the seat tube and then weld it in place. Your Rigor has a pressed & bonded Aluminum insert. If you remove the post on either and run your finger down inside about 3'' you can feel the transition between the two pieces.
Let me know if you have any other quesitons.
Thanks,

Forgot to mention. I did go with the RSL and geo was based off a 58cm rsl and alter for a tapered fork, the steer tube was increased to 19 cm as well as the seat tube to 54cm.
My king headsets/bb always recommend a rem and face of the steer tube and face of the BB. Is that necessary with a moots b/c a saw on the moot tour you tube video that you guys already do that.
Tjwall78,
No need to ream or face anything on a Moots frame. We do all of that here to component manufacturer specs...totally unnecessary for a shop or custom to do this.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

tjwall78,
Yes, we step up the diameter for longer seat tubes and bigger frames as well as customs that call for the bigger diameter.
