@AngryScientist, my experience with them has been totally fine. I use them on my CF bicycles.
The early models initially suffered from the bottom "tab" shearing off, yet they still would hold bottles.
Campagnolo has apparently heard that and began reinforcing that tab to make it more sturdy.

If I remember correctly, they also suffered from an outrageous price tag while doing nothing better than aftermarket products for 1/5th of the $?

I havent used em, but I have a new set of 1 cage + bottle, that ill sell, if interested.

[thirdgenbird]

As stated above, the 10spd era record labeled ones have a very thin tab that often broke. Seems that updated version with the new text sorted it out.

I would absolutely run them on the right go-fast bike.

[Blue Jays]

They are certainly blingy and cool. I love mine.
On full-Campagnolo bicycles they are totally slick.

Are those rebranded Elite bottles?

[Clean39T]

Currently have three of them sitting unused :)

I love them, but don't have Campy on anything right now :rolleyes:

Oh sheit those are perdy!

[charliedid]

Careful, I think they screw in the opposite direction.

[AngryScientist]

Careful, I think they crew in the opposite direction.

Assuming it's a typo meant to read "screw in".

haha "far superior Italian threading"

I totally bombed that one...carry on. :-)

[C40_guy]

Very prretty. Would go nicely on my C50.

I understand, however that you have to use Acqua Panna, S.Pellegrino, or another brand of Italian water, or you void your warranty.

Works fine. Nice on an Italian build.

Seriously, your ciavete is sublime

Be careful- I remember some years ago (when those cages were just out) some local guy had one fail- His bottle went into his front wheel and crashed him.

I remember it because he got a lawyer and sued- Sued the bike shop, distributor, Campy, Etc..
He ended up getting a decent sized settlement.

Ok, I've never used the cage, but HAD the Super Record bottles ( got them a couple years ago from Ribble). The bottles have a pretty major flaw. The cap is a harder plastic, the bottle body is soft. When I used them in hotter weather, say 90+ degrees, the bottle became very soft and the top stayed hard. When you squeezed the bottle to drink, the entire contents poured out between the cap and the body where it screws together. Not useable.

Any excuse for an attempt at bashing beloved Campy .

So let's say it's a titanium bike with full Campy.
Are these cages a go or no-go?

Isn't this the current business model for lots of cycling product companies?

go!

although if this is for your new gravel bike eric, let me test them for a while before we can decide if they have good bottle retention capabilities on rough roads.

Go to King ti.

"...So let's say it's a titanium bike with full Campy.

All of my road and gravel bicycles are full-Campagnolo as a preference.
My titanium bicycles are paired to King titanium cages.
My carbon fiber bicycles are paired to Campagnolo carbon fiber cages.
The retention is great. I opt for Specialized Purist bottles for all.

[fiamme red]

Save your money. Campagnolo Chorus bottle cages are much cheaper and sturdier. ;)
