Hi everyone,

serious question:
How is everyone adjusting and setting up their brake/shift levers on their handlebars?
If you're about as OCD as me when it comes to setting them up perfectly symmetrical, then perhaps you understand my struggle.  ;D

I'm usually trying to set them up by eye and then I'm using a spirit level to make sure they're both the same height. What I'm struggling with for instance is how to set the inward tilt up exactly symmetrical. I'm not running my shifters set up straight but slightly pointing inwards. Not nearly as extreme as some examples you see, but still. But I'm never quite sure they're set up the same. I tried a tape measure but I don't really think it's of much use there.

There is a specific jig-like tool for this that the youtuber "Rides of Japan" did a video about. But honestly, I can't be bothered to pay 100 EUR/USD for a tool like that. Any cheaper alternatives that I'm missing?

I'm selling my Ridley Helium Frameset.

That includes:
- Frame and Fork (930g + 350g)
- the original FSA headset (still in perfect working condition)
- seat clamp (not original, but a much nicer one from KCNC)
- if you want - Campagnolo Ultra Torque BB cups (PF30 one piece unit) / I'd be adding this with no additional cost since I don't need it. But I can also remove it, if needed.

This is the standard Helium frame, so not the SL (Superlight) version. Hence, it's slightly heavier at 930g. But still very light for a frame of this size.
Ridley's sizing runs large. This would probably be the equivalent of a traditional size 60 frame (see the geo chart).
I bought this brand new (NOS) from a dealer in 2018. It's the 2016 model, though.

Built up as in the picture, it weighed 7.1kg including the Assioma PM pedals and a rather heavy cockpit.
This can probably be built up in a 6.8kg version if you chose very light wheels, brakes and drivetrain components.

Full transparency: I bought this new including warranty at a discount for 699 EUR. Yes, prices were that crazy low sometimes in the pre-COVID era. I'm willing to part with this frameset for 350 (not including shipping). I would be willing to add the handlebar (Prime Primavera 40cm carbon aero bar @ roughly 250g) for a 50 EUR upcharge.

The screenshots are from the original frame passport. I'm also adding that for more info.
I will also include the original PF30 to threaded BSA adapters, that the frame came with stock.

I'm located in Germany. I can ship worldwide, but it might not make much sense economically depending on where you're located.
