Bottle Mount

[Justified_Sinner]

I recently bought a 1968 Carlton Cobra and I want to put a bottle cage on it but there are no cage mount points on the frame. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could attach a bottle cage? Ideally, I'd like it to be in keeping with the age of the bike, even if it is a modern solution.

Velo Orange do chrome bottle cage clamps, that allow you to add a bottle cage: https://freshtripe.co.uk/velo-orange-bottle-cage-clamp/

My son's got some for his project orange Carlton Corsa.

Well not exactly retro (and those retro folks weren't too clever if no frame mounts)
but this?

after a sweaty ride with your beloved you could just unzip its velcro and admire it of an evening in its naked retro loveliness.

Brilliant, thanks! That is quite a project. Mine has, fortunately, started off in better nick!

Indeed!
That solution is good, thanks.

Could you post some pics of your bike, we like pictures of old bikes here.

Definitely! I am going to take it out for a spin this afternoon, after my breakfast has settled.

I have just put some Topeak mounts on tge mixte. They're like large plastic jubilee clips. Once mounted and trimmed, they don't look too bad on an old frame. Around 8 quid, generally.
