Thanks

Had a couple from carbon_bicycle. Finish is good and they've been absolutely fine so far over 300 miles or so0

I got a pair via Carbonista in the UK. They are very nicely finished and hold the bottle well. Better with bottles with bevelled bases (eg Camelbak Podium) as it is slightly tricky to get the bottle back in otherwise on the design I got.
The only real negative is that one wet and very bumpy (112 mile!) trip and the bottles and cages had mutually sandpapered each other and the lacquer has worn off on the inside. It can be relaquered easy enough but my Look cages have more durable lacquer (but then they cost far more).Faster than a tent.......0 -

I got a pair from carbon_bicycle for £15, took a couple of weeks to arrive but well worth the wait.0

I got a set on ebay from Hong Kong. £14 but the postage was about two months for delivery (maybe down to the fact that I ordered them at Chinese New Year). I actually complained about a failed delivery at first and they posted another set. Both sets arrived on the same day, so 4 bottle cages for £14 was a bargin.
Agree with the previous posts about the laquer finish but at this price it is cosmetic issues that i can live with.0
