TA made some nice stuff that I would love to have, that I see occasionally on ebay - but rather expensive.
Without it I'll just be sticking my water bottle in a jersey pocket, I guess.
I posted the above a month ago mostly as a musing, not really expecting any replies.
A BF member PM'ed me, and I now have a terrific used 1970s
TA bottle cage that is perfect for my bike.

Very kind and generous, they even tried to refuse payment because one of the frame clips is missing.
BikeForums rocks. Thank you.
PS - anyone have one of
these old TA bottle cage clips?
