Zip tie it???

Have you considered one of those contraptions that you fit under the back of your saddle, some of which can hold two bottles on their own? Or you could spend £Arm+Leg for one of those fancy saddles that have the integrated 'aero' bottle holder built in.

I thought of this, have you done this and not had a problem?

When I was a kid my Peugeot has it's cage mounted using two metal bands that went around the downtube and bolted together. I think you can still get something similar, heard another poster talking about it last month. Hopefully the current version is a bit kinder to the paintwork.

In fact, you could even use jubilee clips with something underneath to save the paint.

One of these, you can carry a 1.5l bottle in it.

I use a set of them, too...

Having a bottle of energy drink leaking down your back, slowly, is fcukin' torture!
