I've got one- been using it for the past 500mi or so. Hasn't fallen out even when full. With practice, I'd say it's slightly harder to replace a bottle without looking than with a traditional cage, but it does give a little more clearance for removal from tighter frames (I'm using it on a 54cm S2). It helps if you avoid changing your grip on the bottle before putting it back- then it goes back in first try no problem. If nothing else it looks nice.

No connection with the maker.
Price seems rather steep at $35. How much are just the Bottles?

I need at least 6-8 bottles, and they tend to get to the point they need replacing every year or so. This would be rather expensive.

Also, you'd have a problem with feed zones, because you couldn't get a bottle from yur team, or neutral support.
