2013 ridley helium sl
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
hello this is my new build.. weight is around 13lbs. according to my LBS.
This helium sl looks better in flesh than in pictures. I really like the subdued graphics on this dark frame. The bottom tube is very thick and looks very sexy with the ridley graphics.
The ride quality is very stiff and light at the same time. The feeling (like most carbon bikes I suppose) is very dead and muted but once I got used to it, I started appreciating it and noticed how fast I get to point A and to point B, compared to my Tarmac SL2, which btw has a very similar feel.

bike looks great. seatpost, of course, looks a bit strange on a race-bike, but if you need it like that.
i use the same saddle, ist surprisingly comfortable, and very light (but thats not important for a saddle)

Okay let's assume you ride more powerful with that saddle position,
But, those BARS??? This is anti-anatomic. Oh my.
