What colour Bottle Cages?

uphillslowly

Arriving shortly will be my new frame, painted in a gloss white.
I'm not sure what colour bottle cages to fit. I'm thinking that white will be too much of an overkill thing, and black is a bit boring(IMO). The handlebar tape will be either black, white or maybe orange. Saddle will be black.
Any opinions (clean ones)

I'm pretty sure this is a spoof OP.

Fit the cage (or cages) you have lying around from previous bikes.

Have you ever looked at a frame and thought "Nice, but those bottle cages are the wrong colour"?

The same goes (broadly) for bar tape, saddle, cable outers and just about every other part of a bicycle.

But if you must have a colour, I'd say it has to be anodised metallic green. Or something else. Perhaps just plain or see-through. Maybe a nice taupe. It's up to you.

Oh Beige, I've not seen them anywhere.

Your cages must be carbon fibre and match the colour of the bottle. So therefore you must buy carbon fibre bidons. If the bike is white and the tape and saddle are white you can get them in the colour of the writing on the frame. Unless its black then it must be the same as the writing on the wheels. Unless they are destickered or stealth then they must match your helmet.

Surely bottle cages are passé?

Like bar tape, bottle cages must always be black.
Otherwise you will find your average speed will drop. Its a fact.

In that case you must paint everything else beige. Wheels beige. Bar tape beige. Seat beige. Frame beige. Shoes beige. Groupset beige. But make sure you keep your bottle cages burgundy. But the bottle must be beige.

One of my helmets is black/white, the other is purple. Neither are any indication of my sexuality.
It's a trick, don't let him rattle you! :shock:
