Although the stem was “slammed”, the tall (172mm), headtube basically negates the need for spacers below the stem (for me anyway), so the positioning isn’t as radical as it may look. For reference, I’m 183cm tall with ~86cm inside leg. There's space for one 5mm spacer on top or below the stem.
Never crashed or dropped. The only marks of-note are where the chain dropped once off the front mech’. (somehow managed to evade the my chain-catcher!). This is only minor paint / lacquer damage and NOT carbon damage/ gouging! Once the chainset is fitted, it isn’t really visible anyway (small part on the black frame detailing touched-up).
Note: this was set-up for Di2. It can accommodate mechanical shifting also, although I don’t have the cable guide fitment insert for under the bottom bracket (I gave it away stupidly). You can get these easily from a Ridley dealer such as Paul Milnes or Swinnerton (about £5). I’ve got the other cable grommets though. If you’re planning to run Di2, then it’s set-up as shown. Built-up as shown, whole bike came in at around 6.4kg.
Price is for frame and forks, headset and seat collar only. The full bike as shown is for reference only, although quite a lot of the parts are also still up for sale.
Ridley Helium SLX Frame n Fork
Size is Medium, but Ridley sizes are big, so it’s equivalent to a Large/ 56 in most other brands. Geometry here https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/ridley-h¬elium-slx-2017/.
