That's fair. In many cases, a bike with otherwise exquisite components (i.e.: Brev Camp) would be let down by a $2.99 water bottle cage.

I had a cage break a couple of months back, picked up at the LBS a nice one in stainless steel, I don't think there's a name on it... should last a long time. This is on the only bike I own new enough to have bosses.
