Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

It looks like there might be enough room to move the bottle cage forward on the down tube. If so, an adapter would be easy enough to make. Get a piece of suitable material and drill 4 holes in pairs. One pair for the current mounting position, and another offset some distance for the bottle cage.

Then it's only a question of how fancy you want to get, ie; you could countersink the "frame" holes for a clan look, and use thread inserts pushed in from the back for the "bottle holes".
