To cage, not to cage, where to cage?!

Of course, a bottle cage has to be attached to the seat tube, how else would you transport your burrito?

I'm with him, if you have it on the downtube your bottle size is limited to 25cl. I like to lug a good 50 or 75cl with me. It's still an amazement to me that the cycle industry followed suit and made there water bottles match my wine bottles.

I don't go on long rides with my wine bottle.

Some of the bottle cages can be right ghastly. Plastic modern ones may be light but think the designs are hideous for retro bikes.

Still got one of these in the attic - retro Minoura PET.



And one of these. A more modern BBB Fuel Tank XL.



All out of fashion now the kids put frame bags and bottle cages are supposed to go on forks

They still have their use for errrmmm special bottles of errrmmm special stuff for errrmmmmm special outings
