Ridley Helium SLX

Bought n' sold a few items on here over the years, so figure I'd post this up here before I let it wild in Facebook Marketplace realms.

Ridley Helium SLX.

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-helium-slx-2017/.

Dura-Ace 9070 Di2 (rim brake), with Rotor Aldhu crankset & Rotor PF30 screw-together bottom bracket. Cranks are 172.5 with 52/36 Q-Rings.

The Di2 set-up includes the “D-Fly” wireless unit (located in the downtube), so you can use the e-tubes app’ to adjust all Di2 settings (inc programming the hidden brake hood buttons).

Mavic Cosmic Carbone Elite 40 clinchers (NOT tubeless), with 25mm Pirelli P-Zero’s and Ultegra 11-25 cassette & chain (waxed). I de-badged the larger “Cosmic” decals from the rims.

Deda Superleggero carbon seatpost,, carbon bars & aluminium stem (110/-8).

Saddle shown is Prologo Dimension, but I may be swapping this out for a brand new Prologo Scratch M5 (TBC)

Tacx ‘Deva’ bottle cages

K-Edge front mech’ chain catcher

Bike weight as-shown is 6.7kg (inc power meter pedals and computer mount**).
Pedals & Wahoo mount NOT included in sale

Whole bike is in superb condition, with only a few minor signs of wear. No chainsuck/ drop scars, no torn hoods etc. Bike only ridden in Summer on dry days.

All-in-all, a superb bike that’s as comfortable as it is stiff- effectively one of the frames Lotto still use (albeit in disc brake guise). Very lightweight and a joy to ride.

Although the stem is “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 one 5mm spacer on top of the stem.

Saddle is set as shown to 760mm from centre BB to top of saddle. Although steerer is cut, you could get it more/ less aggressive by swapping the stem out to-suit (Deda stem is -8).

Unfortunately I'm not from London you know, so obviously viewing/ collection in-person is realistic, although I will discuss shipping if anyone so wishes. I'm based in the North West UK.

£1800
