So I am looking for a sub-800 gram frame for a project and can get for relatively cheap money a Ridley Helium, BH ultimate, or NeilPryde Bura SL.
Comments as to the best one assuming that any of them will fit me and the gearing solution I have in mind?
Any other thoughts in $2500 or less?
Also who besides Crumpton and Trek Emonda and Nerve Bikes are doing sub-700 gram frames?
Thanks,
Michael Wilson

I like the looks of the Ridley Helium SL (I'm assuming you are looking at the SL), but I'm really fond of my first gen Addicts, and I think my next build might be the 2nd gen Addict SL. Unfortunately, they go for a little more $2500.

Paul's Cycles have Supersix EVO hm frames at 1300 and 1500 GBP. Not sure if that'll hit your target after shipping though.

What was your opinion of the Bura SL? Why did you get rid of it?

I have a BMC SLR01. I initially wanted a Super Six Evo or Neilpryde Bura SL.
I'm curious about the Bura SL as I'm looking for a 12lb weight weenie build. My BMC comes in around high 13's.
Getting a Bura SL down to 11lb with Enve 1.25/Extralite wheels would be nice in the LA mountains.

Hi
I have about 1000 plus miles on a Bura SL it's stiff like a S Works and handles as well as a R3SL.
The S Works is gone but can not bear to let the R3SL leave the stable.
I hange around 140/150 lbs so the ability to run 25 mm plus tires is great.
I got it just below 13 lbs ready to ride standard build with RZR wheelset and 13 lbs plus with Madfibers.
If you look around you can get a great deal on a used one.
