I've considered that, but I'm a roadie 95% of the time, and I was wondering how I'd pick an angle that gave a useful view on the hoods, on the bartops, and in the drops.

After reading reviews of a bunch of roll cage mounts, I'm thinking of just constructing a mount from the flat mount that came with my camera, two hose clamps, and a couple of pieces of old innertube. It won't be pretty, but it might be functional. I think the trick will be making the clamps tight enough to be secure without putting too much pressure on the CF head tube.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I've gotten a few good ideas from this thread.
