I'd go stainless King or Elite Ciussi.

If plastic I'd probably go basic black.

+1 for Stainless King cages. Love them. Or go Ti if you have $$$ to burn, King makes them too.

BTW King Cages are NOT related to Chris King. Different company. King cages are made in Durango.

That lighter blue would look nice, though, I think.

Yep, gotta echo the colour elsewhere. Bar plugs or skewers or pedals or...

If I did the pink cages I would get pink tape.

same with orange, but my cervelo is blue and orange so I think I want something different.

I take it you don’t like the color choices.

If you like Elite, I would highlight the two tone of the bike, with colors that aren't primary to the bike, but in the bike.

I have their SS cages on my Engin. Look brand new afer something like 5 years. I met the King cage guys at the Philly Bike Expo several years ago. One was bending cages. He gave the ex a new one to replace one she mentioned that had broken. I think it happened when her bike was driven home from AZ in a trailer. Probably got damaged by the pedal of another bike.

I also saw, but did not meet, Chris King on Cycle Oregon 2007. He was there all week holding court, displaying his wares and drinking coffee with his disciples in camp. Don't know if he did any riding.

Joan Benoit was also there (riding) that year.

What was the name of that fidget toy we had as kids? Looks like that.

Ew. Sorry, but I don't think that metal wire/tube cages belong on high-zoot carbon and certainly not on aero high-zoot carbon.

Don't forget to play the Power Ball this evening so my jackpot will be even larger.

"Oil Slick"? Yeah, I can see that. Or, for those of us who ate a lot of cafeteria food growing up, it's reminiscent of the multicolor sheen on "Mystery Meat"

I have one rarely-used water bottle holder. Do I need a second? Discuss.

Velo Vol 10-04-21 01:27 PM

I have just had this feature pointed out to me. Hmm.

Back in the day I did long enough rides that I used it. Will I ever again?

I was saying "no" to the request to discuss.

sbxx1985 10-04-21 01:32 PM

You shouldn't look first at the cages. They can't be the focus of the bike. Must blend.

We just had a whole page of water bottle posts.
