Castration-specific water bottle mounts
I'm seeing new frames with water bottle mounts on the top tube.
Why is this not a nutty (nut-less) idea?

They're generally not for water bottles, but for bento-boxes.
At least...I hope you're not proposing cyclists get a snip-snip.

Do you know how much your little guys weigh? Just one is the difference between winning seven TdFs and being a regular fred rider.

This is the Road cycling forum, not the tri-bike forum.
Anyone caught drinking water from a straw is immediately banned.
Occasionally, we get bikes with bottle cages on the bottom side of the downtube but that is perfectly acceptable as Touring bikes ride on roads and they don't have aero bars.
Bottle cages mounted on the handle bars make perfect sense and will give your bike that truly old-school look for far less than cycling shoes with laces.

Given that these have been on gravel bikes, the question still applies somewhat.
On a TT rig sudden dismounts would be rare, but on dirt, do you really want something extra to land on there?

Oh, man, I feel like such a knob. What's a bento box and what does it have to do with bicycles? I've consulted google, the source of all wisdom, but I still don't know. WTF is a bento box?
edit: from web images it looks like it's either a plastic tray with sushi in it or another name for a Swanson TV dinner. It's more confusing than haiku.

It's to carry sushi on your bike ride.
Try to keep up!

Bike Friday puts a water bottle mount on their monotube. Does that count?

Is this sushi on bikes, is this a Grant Peterson thing? Do people have Rivendell stainless steel chopsticks wrapped with cotton tape bound with contrasting colored twine all held in place with 7 coats of orange shellac?

Fish on a Bike is definitely not a Grant P thing.

I’m curios myself, and we STILL haven’t seen any damn pictures in here. Does this mean you guys don’t know how to post pictures?
