Recent Ridley Helium SL Pickup - 15.6lbs
Just picked up a 2016 Helium SL. It was pretty much bone stock as I picked it up.
I was able to shave off over a pound swapping bits and pieces off 2 older bikes plus strategic shed parts so we're down to 15.63lbs with pedals/bottle cages.
The biggest weight savings were from a pair of Easton Tempest II wheels that are around 1500g/~400g saving and a Chinese carbon bar that saved approximately 150g. I already had Conti GP5000 and Vittoria latex tubes on the wheelset so there's not much left on that bone. I have a carbon seatpost coming soon that will be cut-down - and there's 15mm or so of steering tube left to cut off once I have finished with my fitting.
I feel like all of the low-hanging fruit may have already been plucked. I'm definitely budget-constrained here - is there anything left that is an obvious win?
