Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Props to the Arundel Dave-O. Came with the bike I bought, and haven't had any problems. Holds the Camelback Chill Jacket fine. Looking at their Sport line for my next bike.

Do any of these cages come with straps to attach the cage to the bike? I only have one set of braze-ons on my bike and need another cage for the summer months and longer rides.

Yep. I have some Specialized plastic cages that are strong, light, and cheap.

I have this issue with my Gazelle. You can use hose clamps to attach a standard bottle cage. Look for them in the plumbing or sprinkler section of your LHS (local hardware store).

I wish I had your budget
