That does appear to be a reflection and the shadows match.

But upilu, you can't blame anyone for questioning your photos.

Now a really good second option I use, and if weight is no biggie the Lezyne flow cages are great, they hold the bottles really snug but come in at 44g each...

Correct, mine were from China. Got them in a week. To be honest, I was not very patient while researching. I purchased them and later looked to see where they were coming from. If I had to do it again, I would but if I could find the same or very similar ones from US, I would do that.

AHH I was just looking at your bike over at WW! I was going to save your picture and send it to a member on this forum who doesn't think his bike would look as good with white saddle and bartape. nice bike man!

The EC90 stem is really nice though, plus it matches the theme. And I've already swapped out the seat for one with some white in it.

I prefer aluminum bars, plus I like the bend on the EA70's. And they aren't really costing me that much weight, if any.

If I'm not mistaken the ec70 is 270g. Ec90 is199. That's a worthy difference to a weight wennie

obviously doesn't change performance though

They are in fact the exact mold of a zipp cage. Only these weigh 19g and the zipps weigh something like 40g each! oh.......and are $50 or more

I stand corrected. I thought for certain I had read somewhere they were 40g. Thanks

I took mine to my LBS and they didn't have ANY cages that weighed the same or less than mine. Not even the $40-$60 cages. As far as looks are concerned my favorite cages are the Blackburn Camber, but the cheapest I have found them was $35 per cage, no thanks.

Went by my local gear shop (which is getting out of the retail side of bike sales, but still has a mechanic shop thou) and just happened to have my bike with me, so I decided to take it in weigh it. Not to bad for an aluminum bike huh. That includes the pedals 105's) and one bottle cage (specialized carbon rib cage).

$11.50 each at 24g, aluminum so the grip is awesome and very durable.
