Which bottle cages?
 

Ok I know it is a bit silly, just thought I would get your opinions on which water bottle cages I should use.

or the Elite cages

or other recommendations?

I vote for the Kings.

If I knew how do a poll I would have. :)

yeah, use the elites and i'll give you five bucks each for the kings, especially if they're titanium... :)

^^
always someone looking for a deal :)

As Warren Buffet once said

"The Elites are for parading and the Kings are for riding"

I think ;)

Definitely kings, the others are too thick and domineering. What are the kings made out of?

The Kings are the hollow Stainless Steel ones. No way I was going to pop for the titanium for a bike that already weighed in at over 20 lbs.

Maybe I should send the Kings off to be powder coated red? :)

I mean, your tag does say dumb@s$ jarhead...
;)

I clicked on this thread ready to post "get some King SS cages."

So, King.

The red doesn't really match. Go King.

Depends on what bottles you're going to use. If you're using standard white plastic then go with the Kings. If you're planning something like those sweet red bottles that Bigbossman has on his bike then the Elites would be nice.

My red cages do not quite match my red paint, either, but I like them. :)

I added quick 2 option poll for you.

Neither. Arundel.

The Elites look a little strange to me, plus I like my Kings... so that is how I voted.

Hey thanks for the poll. :)

I might put those on the Calfee..but not the steel bike.

Nos. 3-6 go in the back jersey pockets, then up through the peloton to "Perico" as quickly as you can. Don't make him wait for a drink, or you'll be on the "C" squad that has to race in Belgium next spring.

a silver REG, O.M.A.S or Cobra would be my first choice but the stainless King's would do just fine, imo.

Ok.. google searches showed me nothing on those cages. Well a couple of ebay links which I cant use here at work. Anyone have any pics?

they're just examples of the better vintage italian alloy cages that would likely have been used on your pinarello when it was new.

Either the ss cages shown or the Elite SS cages (they have a red/silver button where the elite has the chrome things.

The red in the cages is off, it's like playing a 7th, equivalent of colors screeching on a blackboard.
