Bonus points because it looks so "Pro"!
The thing that is weird to me is that Shimano doesn't make a set of buttons like I made. You should have the flexibility to to put a shifter button ANYWHERE you want it. Why make electronic buttons just to put them where mechanicals ones go? While I am it... Why have wires? What about bluetooth? Remote buttons. Shift from your phone. Whatever!
If I want to put a button under my seat so I can adjust my junk while I shift, I should be able to that!
So, you can blame Cervelo, or you can look at what Shimano is offering builders. I do thank Cervelo for making the 5-junction box standard. They built it to hack it. The required 3 junction is surely slightly cheaper....
