Just picked up some carbon spacers and 2 carbon bottle cages off ebay.
£9.99 for the spacers and bid on the cages and got them for £23.00........think they are from Carbonista.

Total bargain!

Should save me 2 or 3 grams!!!!! :D:D:D

    What is it with carbon? Sure they're light (not always) and sexy, it all comes back down to the legs and lungs.

    And the colour of the bike obviously, we all know red ones go faster.

    As Graham Obree told our club once "stop eating crisps. You'll save money, be lighter AND go faster!"
    "In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

    You could save that by making sure you're clean shaven before every race! :D
