Any bottle cage will be functionally the same….

£45? A pair for less than half of that:

A lot better, though still offensively expensive (in my opinion as a poor but discerning buyer). Thanks though.

I wish that were so. Most look awful, don’t hold the bottle securely, rattle, mark the bottle, and/or prevent quick access to the bottle. Lots of them soon break too (mercifully, I suppose).

Bad design surrounds us, so this doesn’t surprise me. It just surprises me that no-one has copied the Ciussi Inox and marketed it at £5.99.

The harshness is that you need to lower your expectations/standards/tastes or just increase your budget. The latter usually wins over for cycling related purchases :-)

Which is why these aren't offensively expensive at £11 each.

Ignore.

For goodness sakes, they're just bottle cages. Buy a couple, fit them and go ride.
