Hi everyone. We are wanting to attach our water bottles to our handlebars.
That would clutter up you handlebars pretty quickly and could well make getting to brake/gear controls dodgy I would have thought.

Jolly retro, but shouldn't stop ergos working - after all they work with a big handlebar bag. STI may be a different matter. cheers, clive |

Standard bottle cages are simple, easy and work well. There's a reason no-one has used handlebar cages since the 40s/50s - they muck up your steering and generally get in the way.

Can't remember who makes it but some of the free catalogues that come with the magazines have them. Really you ought to get an original bar mounted double bottle cage, very retro and therefore very cool. -- |

If that's not the case I'd have thought the easy way was a bar bag with appropriate pockets. The Brom pannier isn't technically a bar bag (as it mounts on the main frame) though it does sit in the same sort of place, and I use the rear pockets on it for bottles.

Minoura make adapters that will allow you to fit a conventional bottle cage to the handlebars, seatpost, etc. A quick Google found them he http://www.gbcycles.co.uk/eshop.asp?...ch&wce=minoura and he http://www.awcycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b22s53p0 You could probably order them from your LBS if you prefer.
