... bidon. Well it's as close as I'm likely to get, and my old bottles don't go as well with the new frame as they did with the old one - what do you think though? :

Not as nice looking as last years?

Whoa Richard!
Almost got me there.
That is a nice looking bike even if it is compact Geometry
so, what does the bidon look like? I didn't see
any pics.

Bac,
Isn't that the holder and not the actual Bidon?
So, if we in the U.S. call it a bottle cage
what is it in French? Support de Bidon?
That sounds so much cooler
Marty
edit
Ok in French its a porte-bidon
There is a neat site that translates bike parts into
various languages (french, German, polish, Espernato,
Greek Russian)
Link Here

The Bidon is a very ordinary black Tacx Bottle with 'Tour Century 100 by Giant' in white, a small map of France and a small tricolore. Maybe one day I'll have the bike to match, still I've also got a Tacx Tao cage so I'm getting there

Funky looking head-tube on their new TT bike, to make it more aerodynamic, I guess. This is one mean-looking machine.
