So I got a new weekend warrior and now I want everything to match.
I'd like to find bottle cages that are a combination of dark blue, white and grey
I think dark blue and grey would be the best bet.

I've seen baby blue and white and blue and white but not dark blue and grey.

any help appreciated

cheers

Have you thought of buying some you like and just painting them the right colour?

yes I have. haven't ruled it out

Check out Elite's Custom Race colours here http://www.elite-it.com/custom-race/

You can click on the dots on the left hand side to change the colours I think the last one might be the go.

I use these- purchased in matching colour after I brought my new bike earlier this year.

I should recommend you a really heavy, non-aero bottle cage, so you have less chance of KOM-sniping me on ya flash new roadie:D

the splits look like the leader so far

and the elite custom race chromes are very expensive - edit - no so expensive:

pick up a brooks team pro while you're at it - €62

Check out the prices on Elite cages here: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/pp/road-t ... s/elitbotc.

My last Ribble order took 5 days.

dan - will try the saddle for the moment

marto - ribble don't sell the elite custom race chromo unfortunately


looks like another discussions with the minister for war and finance is coming...

EDIT: wife likes the Rav X

Not necessarily what your after but I think the Zipp cages look cool on the SST.

Zipp cages are $50+ ea while the Elite ones are around $15...

The RavX are great value for carbon cages too

received today. good communication from bikebug.
bottles are a tight fit. hopefully that improves.

Yeah they are on the tight side, something I failed to mention

However they do get slightly better with use, at least you know your bottles wont go anywhere =)

Post a Photo..

I posted one on the bike image thread, but that was before bottle cages
this is from this morning



EDIT: the seat post cage is looser (easier to get the bottle in and out of) than the one on the bottom tube so I'll swap them over tomorrow.
