Upgraded My All-Road Cannondale Slate
New Enve gravel bars, Easton cranks, Oval chain ring, press button 1x Di2, and TRP brake setup, and Ergon seat post.
Pretty clean setup, love the job the shop did getting it all together. Next up is the custom Enve G23 wheelset.

TRP Helix? Nice, I just looked them up. They come in chrome/tan as well? Hmm.
Could we get a better shot of the shifter button? I think I can barely make it out. Sweet build

Nice! Must be easy to change flats without taking that front wheel off, except you are running G-One tubless. ;-)
Those Ergon seat posts work great. So much better than that CG-R I bought for my bike. :-(

Haven't had lots of free time, but I did go for a short 20mi ride on the road, and comfort wise, this was as smooth as I imagined. The shifting and position of the buttons were better than I thought they'd be.
I didn't really feel a difference with the oval sprocket, which is a good thing. I feel I want to play around with the gearing ratios, because although we only have a few smallish hills here, I was spinning on the downsides and would prefer to either drop the rear to a 10 tooth, or just go up to a 44 front. I'll have to look into that this weekend.
