With great regret, I'm having to sell this beauty due to being slightly too big for me. I've purchased the frame only 4 months ago but unfortunately it comes too big and I will have to find something else. Cassette, chain and brake and gear cables were replaced recently so shifts and brakes like a dream.
Specs:
Ridley Helium RS Frame Size L (see geometry here: https://www.ridley-bikes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Helium_SL_7DD_Passport_2017.pdf )
Shifters and rear mech - Dura Ace 9000
Front mech and brake calipers - Ultegra 6800
Chainset - Rotor Power LT power meter with Praxis Works 52/36 rings
Seat Post - Deda Superzero Full Carbon
Stem - Zipp Service Course SL 120mm -17 deg (or Deda Zero 100 110mm, whatever you prefer)
Bars - Deda Zero 100 Compact
Saddle - Prologo Kappa Evo
Wheels - Hunt Race Aero WidePics here
Looking for £1700
Based in Brighton but can travel reasonable distance or send for £10. -
This is great, thank you!
I am doing it manually so not using bots or scrapers. And yes, Current Projects is definitely a gem. Actually, I firstly did interviews with people who I can get hold of and I am using netnography to either support or contradict what they said. Since most of my sample were people who have already purchased one, I am looking on forums and social media to find out what people who are willing to purchase think too.

Literature on the issue is still arguing whether it is a public domain or not, so to be on the safe side, I decided to let you know. And yes, if I can get @Velocio 's approval for doing this, this will tick one more ethical concern as dealt with.
@Skülly It's basically spending hours reading posts and comments about bikes and trying to connect them to current theories and other academic research on the topic. It's actually good fun, I'm glad I chose to do it.

Hi all,
My name is Stanimir Bolyarov and I am currently a final year marketing student at RGU in Aberdeen. I am doing my dissertation on the customised bicycle market in the UK and the motivations and perceptions of people about it. One of my methods for collecting data is via netnography (internet etnography) which in simple words is browsing through forums and social media websites and looking for posts, comments and opinions of current and potential customised bicycle buyers. There are a few ethical guidelines I need to follow and they include me actually posting this on here so I can get your approval of using your posts as data. On top of that, I am hiding all information about people's names and post dates so everything stays anonymous. If someone is not ok with me doing this, please leave a comment and I will make sure not to include your comments in my paper.
Thank you all,
Stan -
Selling my dad's Bianchi RC 928 full carbon frame. It measures 56cm from centre of BB to top of seat tube and 56.5cm for the top tube. It's been used for around 2 years and it's fair to say he is a fair weather cyclist in Bulgaria so the frame has only seen sunny, warm days. It's got the usual marks of use and leaning bike against railings at cafes. The frame comes with 105 5600 cranks, front and rear mechs in full working order. It also includes a carbon FSA seatpost with a Specialized Toupe Pro saddle with carbon rails which is only 144 grams and worth probably £100 on its own!
Looking for £300. Grab yourselves a bargain.
Now sold.

Went to a proper bike fit today and turns out with a few adjustments, frame is fine. @Rolling_Thunder - you were right about needing a seatpost with no setback and @remrak was right about the more aggressive position and the reason for the slammed and negative stem.
Therefore, no longer for sale which I'm actually quite happy about! Cheers all
