I need to be pointed in the direction of one of these (or similar) mounts. I've tried using two VO handlebar mounts on my Motobecane, but they took up way too much real estate and cramped up hand space. I now only use one. This mount looks like it takes up less space on the bar and offsets the bottles further from the bar, giving more hand room.

They are very hard to find, ebay is your best bet.

It looks like the cage has slipped a bit in the clamp.

i have a late 70s Minoura mount with a Salsa stainless cage attached (replacing a vintage Jim Blackburn aluminum model I sadly vibrated to death last year) on the '78 Competition GS. It just works. Never yet spit out a bottle, even on a dirt road ride. I intend to do every vintage event I can while using it. There is a little change in the handling when it's full, but not enough to matter for me yet.

Yes I used to have a pair behind my seat clamped to the seat post, as my old Raleigh sports does not have the braze on for down tube fitting but they used to pop out, so I went for a single version "clamp on" on the handlebar but it looked wrong, & weight in wrong place so now I've a light weight holder cable tied down by the front DR.
