I once emailed Surly to see if they would produce one. They felt a Nalgene would be too wide to fit in between the cranks.


But the cage bolts are higher on the downtube then the cranks reach? Just measured, and even if the cage sat so low, it would still fit. Maybe on surly frames the bolts are closer to the BB shell. On my Pugsley the seat tube ones are, but the downtube ones are clear. still 102mm space between the cranks.
