what's everyone's experience with this cage? i think it'd look nice on my peugeot but i'm not certain how well it's going to hold bottles.

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"
Bikes: to many to list
Which one? If its the "artsy" one I like it! and I'm pretty sure it will hold your bottle just fine. the other looks like just any other water bottle cage.

Even then, these bottles rattle, so a leather sleeve helps reduce vibration, but it doesn't appear VO carries them any longer.

they carry the short elkhide handlebar cover for 15 bux though. That's enough leather to take care of a few cages and a set of toe clips.

Yes, i meant the fancy looking one. I just have worries about it on a rough road.
not sure the elk hide would look right on my bike. white bar tape, white seat, red paint. i could do something in white though....
