    Just finishing a retro build (steel frame, with new components). Can anyone recommend a bottle cage that will really set it off? Modern carbon or plastic ones can look sh1te on a steel frame.
    I'll probably have to go with two cages, for the long distance stuff.

    The one in metallic silver.

    Personal favourite for steel is the Arundel steel cage

    Other options I've looked at would be King Cage in titanium or steel (http://www.kingcage.com/index.php?products=yes) and also Nitto cages

    Depending on design of bike, Ciussi or TA cages are good for a more racing paint/graphics themed bike.

    I have a pair of new retro steel cages with bottles. Unused, that I never put onto a build. Yours for 10 euro plus postage.

    Thanks guys. I have an Arundel on another bike. Theyre really nice, but it somehow looked wrong when I tried it on the bike in question. Thanks Quigs, but I think the white wouldn't work either. The Zefal in Weepsie's link will suit nicely, I reckon. Two ordered...
