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.
the King cages
or the Elite cages
or other recommendations?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
