Subjective, I know ... but, best looking cages?

[pjbaz]

I now own one of Mr. Pegoretti's wonderful machines - Mxxxxxxo in "conn rust" finish - and I want some righteous cages to hold my bottles.

I've used Arundel cf cages on one of my bikes for more than a decade and they're great, but I wonder what other good-looking, secure cages are out there.

Show me some images and entertain my Friday afternoon, please.

TIA,
J

I would get a matted KC headset and manible waterbottle cages in flat black...

nitto makes the most best cages.

King cages are always the answer.

Pardon my ignorance of Pegoretti frames, but I thought the name was Marcelo? Should it be pronounced "em-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-oh"?

King Iris...wish he made a Ti version. Can't upload image.

If it's the rust finish I'm thinking of, a King Ti cage would look pretty sharp.

I have one. While it does hold a water bottle tight, it's that wee little bit harder to get a bottle in there.

Arundel SS cages. They not only look great but hold a bottle from flying out if you do a jump or hit a bump unlike some of the others listed.

Another vote for King Iris. Their ti's are great too, but the iris holds great and is the best looker of them all, IMO.

FWIW, mine make a heart shape on my old Ciocc, just to further the love.

American Classic no-weld Ti, Al, Steel looks great on alloy frames

I love those, but sadly there are no longer in production, and I'm not willing to pay high prices on eBay.

One caution about the King Iris cages, if you use Camelbak Podium bottles, they don't really play well together. King standard cage works fine with them though.
