Although this goes against the standards of removing bottles and bags for these pics, the type of bike and setting makes them more acceptable. The improper alignment of the valve stems, however, is unforgivable. 
All that said, that's a very nice bike!!
How do you like those tires? I ran them for a little bit, but fell out of love with them quickly. I found them to be very durable, and handled well on loose terrain, but were heavy and slow-rolling on pavement.
What top tube bag is that? I'm looking for a small one like that to use for snacks during events.

The above Cannondale is nicely done. I have an affinity for orange bikes. Just me, but I would lose the light blue bar tape for black, gray or orange.

Bags, bottles, lights are heat-stealers. The bar tape color doesn't work with anything else. Crank arm and valve stems are misaligned. The setting is really good, though.

It looks similar to one I have on my Bianchi- a Lezyne Aero Caddy this might be just what you need. They also have a slightly larger Caddy version. Topeak also makes one although it's larger with much more capacity I put one on my gravel bike. Can't tell from the pic what brand that one is.
Hope this helps.

IRC broken Doublecross. I love the tires and disagree about slow rolling. They are 42s and they feel much faster than the 35 sk plus gravelkings I had previously. Those felt like a brick, and I was dragging a tractor tire, and leaked profusely thru the sidewalls.

My current gravel bike is a Niner, so that bag would have been a great choice. Unfortunately, it's discontinued. I found another option that should serve my needs.

Tires look a lot larger than 42s. Nice bike. I approve.
