Many SS bikes and riders dont care or want two bottle cages. I do for longer hot rides so use a bar cage on my Steamroller. There are also ofcourse seat cage mounts. You surely know all this and the geometry and tube mount choices are Surly choices that do not please all. There are better choices for SS track bikes with racier geometries.
