It works but the color is wrong

They work fine. The metal is a little flimsy, but the bottles mostly stay in place. My biggest complaint is that the color is far off. I bought the green one and it doesn't match the picture at all.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Will work

Silver separators matte not shiny as in the photo

I received silver separators matte (flat) silvery not shiny as in the photo. Not very happy because the matte silver doesn't look as aged as the shiny silver for my bike. Although the quality is good

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • There are nuances

Holds a water bottle well.

Holds my water bottle just right. Nothing more to say. It was a bit loose at first for the bottle I chose, but since it's metal, just take the bottle out and flex it a bit. This is to be expected as not all bottles are created equal. So far I've never lost a bottle.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Zero

Classic style, lightweight, functional.

Purchased to match the color of my Ti bike frame. The color of these cells is a cosmetic match for my Ti frame. I've used this for various sizes of water bottles, small and large, including a Polar bottle; no one has come out yet. The style is classic and very light. I love these cells!

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Good cages work with mod

I love the minimalist style of these cages. However, the cages didn't hold the aluminum bottles properly. They rattle a lot when I ride in rough conditions. My solution to this was to put neoprene sleeves on my bottles and now they are safe and quiet. They also protect the bottles from scratches. If you use plastic bottles, this is not a problem.

Pros
  • High test scores for hold and durability
Cons
  • boring packaging

The green is more yellow/forest green than light green.

The quality is good but the color is not as bright as in the photo. It's more of a forest/summer/yellow green than a super bright green. You can see the contrast between the other light greens in my picture. I was expecting a little more than the color in that sense. It's not a big deal for me to bring them back, but something to keep in mind if you're super picky about matching all of your colors.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Communication with the seller

Goes well with a vintage bike

I was looking for a retro style bottle holder to go with a vintage bike that I recently restored. Since most of the components on my vintage bike are chrome-plated, I was looking for a chrome-plated bottle cage. I bought a silver and titanium pair as I didn't quite understand how they differ. In the end I chose silver over titanium as titanium looks a bit brownish-gold. In the two photos posted, the silver is on the left and the titanium is on the right so you can see what I mean. As one…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Useless features

HERE HERE HERE.no.

Good: Cool cages. I bought 2 cages and they weighed 38.5g and 38.7g. The titanium screws have a wider head than usual (looks bulky) but weigh 1.2g each compared to the standard screws that came with my CAAD10 at 2.7g each. smooth matte surface. These cages are very similar to king cages but have a wider tube. They weigh less than King SS cages (48g at $18 excl. shipping) and more than King Titan cages (28g at $60 excl. shipping). Disadvantage: The cages are not packed very well/safely. The…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
