Strangely, I was going to comment on them when you posted the first picture -- I hate the Taos (used to have them on my commuter). They hold bottles fine, but sticking large bottles in from the side is needlessly awkward. I exclusively use the Specialized Rib cages on all my bikes.

Be aware that there is a mountain bike version and the Rib Cage Pro for road bikes is the good one. I've read some negative reviews of this cage, but I don't know what people are talking about. My experience is that they hold bottles better than other metal and plastic cages I've used, pulling large bottles out from the side and jamming them back in is better than other designs. Durability is decent and certainly better than cheap metal cages that break within a season.
EDIT: just found out that the link I provided says Specialized products can only be bought in the store.

Moron? strange choice of words, strange why no forum moderator cared you use that word, they cared when I did. Then an earlier poster had referenced a cuss word which is another no no. I guess they just moderate those they don't like.

That ain't nothing compared to others here like Kommisar89 who has a 1966 Bottecchia Professional, 1973 Bottecchia Gran Turismo, 1974 Bottecchia Special, 1974 Peugeot UO-8, 1981 Motobecane Jubilee Sport, 1988 Panasonic PT-3500, 2002 Bianchi Veloce, 2004 Bianchi Pista. I think Kommisar89 likes Bottecchia's.

Idiots, you can call us idiots without a peep from moderators? I guess it's ok to call people, plural, idiots and morons, but don't call a single person that? Does this mean that if a terrorist said he will kill you (referring to one individual), that's illegal but it's ok for the terrorist to say he will kill all of us?
