You could use a seat mount like this; http://www.this link is broken/profile-aqua-re ... ge-system/

Elite makes a side entry bottle cage ... http://www.this link is broken/elite-ciussi-si ... ttle-cage/
A mate uses one of these on his compact frame that has a big slope on the top tube .... could be worth a look.

Seat or handlebar, looked into seat but poor reviews / high costs. Only the alloy looking one seemed viable ( minoura??? ).
I think i'll be using my camelback, or even just the camel back bag with two more bottles in it.
I did read some people claim they hose clamp a cage on the top/down tube.

Use elite VIP bottle cage clamps or the Zefal gizmo in preference to hose clamps. Much more gentle on your frame.gururug wrote:I did read some people claim they hose clamp a cage on the top/down tube.

I saw there is a mount that can go behind the saddle and you can fit the bottle cage there. It's quite cheap -->http://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=A1424
Not too sure about it yet though...will look further and see what I can find. Funny thing is if they would have placed the holes on the tube a little bit higher there wouldn't be an issue. I don't understand how the designers missed this.

I have the opposite problem - need to lower the bottle cage holes on my seat tube to fit an extra bottle. I have ordered a shimano Di2 bottle cage adaptor. It is shimano's answer to the problem of not being able to fit the Di2 battery + 2 bottle cages on some bikes. According to the techdoc it allows a shift of 32mm-50mm in the position of the cage, so may be enough to solve your problem. Available at all the usual places - Wiggle, c r c etc.baarg wrote: Funny thing is if they would have placed the holes on the tube a little bit higher there wouldn't be an issue.

the Di2 adapter thingy would have also worked for me, but I did not know about it.
instead i used one of these in conjunction with the existing lower hole. You could use 2. But if the tube is not round I guess it would not work.

Seems odd to me that Wilier manufacture a Di2 specific frame but still retain the lower bottle cage mountings. Nonetheless, this bike is a work of art

It's very well made, sturdy, grips the bottles very very well, yet loading and unloading is easy. I'm extremely satisfied with it. The biggest problem is finding it in Australia, I rang around to the big shops and no one had them and they didn't want to order it in. So I ordered them in from the US, not a huge deal, and well worth it. Found a shop selling it at a discount.
