I am sorry to say that the straps are nylon, though they are quite stiff from age, and have served me unusually well. Soon as one breaks, I'll replace the pair with creme MKS straps (to match the fenders and bar tape, of course).
One of my long-term plans for it are a pair of V-O bottle cages and a complimentary set of Kleen Kanteen stainless bottles for it.
