I like this Bell model because of the adjustable elastic strap holds a large range of bottles securely. It is not particularly light weight or exotic looking; it just functional.

I purchased some recently at Target for our tandem at a lower price than Amazon has it for.

This is very important. I would recommend a Bontrager Race Lite cage (available at your Trek dealer), but we need to know the color.

i asked my lbs for a deal and they gave me these for $8. msrp is overpriced. if you can get it for my price, it is the best cage out there imo.

Blackburn MTB cage (http://www.cambriabike.com/shopexd.asp?ID=47725) has been a favorite of mine for 20+ years. It's built much stronger than typical aluminum cages (two cross pieces rather than one with two holes in it) and holds onto your bottle better when going over rough stuff. The price is nice too. It used to be available in many colors, now I can only find silver or black, but either would look nice on your bike (I'd go with black).

I just got a silver/chrome colored Bontrager one from my Trek dealer. It was like $8-10 and works fine.

I have one of those (Topeak Modula) also, and I like the fact that it is adjustable to hold larger bottle sizes.
