Build update: handlebars, saddle and pedals arrived!

Vision Trimax 4D Compact in 44cm: 220g
SQlab 612 R Carbon with big ass logo (like this version for some reason) in 14cm: 127g
Shimano M540: 349g pair

I chose these bars because they are one of the very few that get the ergonomics right: 10° of forward flare at the tops! I saw only SQlab (expensive and weird shape) and maybe Roval do this pretty obvious thing.

The saddle is just the sporty version of the 612 I have on my gravel bike. Awesome ergonomics.

In the future I’d like to switch to road pedals, but for now I splurged enough for the bike, new road shoes and power meter can wait.

Usual close ups (product photography tips anyone?!):

I don't think you need any photo tips - these all look amazing!

I'm living my fancy bike dreams vicariously through you... (Although I'm also obsessed with SPD pedals on all my bikes so I wouldn't even change those, except maybe for some minimal crank bros ones...)

Thanks, glad you like these posts! The pedal thing is something I have to think through, actually, but for now I am set.
