The handlebar mount below looks like a good solution, I may have to get creative with 23.5mm bars but I suspect I could get it snug with a little effort/ingenuity. Anybody have experience with these or have suggestions on a better option? I would love to go vintage but the price tag so far has been more than I want to spend. 
Wbat I don't like with these modern aluminum bottle mounts is, the bottle and cage ends up too far above the down tube.I've seen lower profile clamps come up once in a while, but most of them still puts the cage and bottle too far above the down tube.....
