- Arundel Dave-O
- Bontrager Race X Lite
- Tacx Tao (Black Al version)
- S-Works Rib Cage

Since the bike is steel, kind of an odd color, and only has one bottle mount, I prefer a cage that can stand on it's own. That ruled out my usuals: the Tacx Tao and regular Rib Cage Pro. I decided I didn't the the Dave-O would look right with my frame, and the S-Works had clashing complimentary colors, while the Bontrager had loud graphics. I was pretty interested in the Blackburn in the first place, so when I found one on Ebay with a misspelled title and lower price, that sealed the deal.

I'm still not sure how it will look in person, but I will probably keep it unless it functions horribly.
