Man I must be a water-hog as I can use up 2 large bottles of water in less than 30 miles!!, I've got two bottles on the frame and one smaller bottle (hiking bottle with full lid) in my tail pack, the idea of running out of water really bum's me. Now my wife use's a Camelback on the road rides cause she only has "1 waterbottle" cage on her 14.5in. MTB, converted to road hybrid and that one is on the "BOTTOM" of the down tube, no way in heaven or hell she can "reach" it while riding the bike!!! Without the camelback we'd be having to "stop" a lot more for her to be able to get a drink. I too don't give a hoot about "style", I'd rather have WATER than FLASH, jmho.
